Apiiro: Risk Detection at Design Phase

Apiiro introduced Risk Detection at the Design Phase, an AI-driven capability aimed at analyzing feature requests to identify risks and initiate security reviews or threat models at the earlier stages of application development. This approach, powered by Apiiro’s proprietary LLM, will allow AppSec practitioners to mitigate security and compliance risks at the design phase before actual coding begins, helping them save time, reduce rework, and accelerate secure software delivery. Key areas of risk analysis include architecture design, sensitive data handling, user permissions, generative AI technology, and third-party integrations.
