Legit Security, the leading Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) provider, has launched Legit Context, a groundbreaking enhancement to its platform. By delivering complete visibility into both applications and their development environments, Legit’s ASPM solution equips CISOs and security teams with the insights needed to identify, remediate, and prevent the most business-critical application vulnerabilities.
This release builds on Legit Security’s January 2025 launch of root cause remediation, which enables organizations to address multiple AppSec issues with a single, targeted fix.
“Organizations are challenged by an overwhelming number of vulnerabilities and very little actionable data on their actual exploitability and impact,” said Liav Caspi, co-founder and CTO of Legit Security. “The reality is that simple risk scoring or relying on CVSS scores alone only goes so far, and teams lack real-time context to help them in everyday decision-making. Without a deep understanding of the application, they are left with a lot of useless noise. Our new ASPM capabilities, assisted by AI, provide the context, visualization, and actionable data so that organizations can move fast knowing they are focusing on the right risks.”
Context-Driven Risk Prioritization
Security and development teams often struggle to assess the true business impact of vulnerabilities. A high CVSS score alone does not determine risk—factors such as internet exposure, sensitive data handling, use of AI models, and integration with external services all play a role. Without this context, teams may escalate the wrong issues, creating inefficiencies, increasing costs, and slowing innovation.

Legit Context bridges this gap by generating a comprehensive application catalog enriched with key insights, including:
- Handling of sensitive data (e.g., PII, PHI)
- API exposure and compliance risks
- Internet accessibility and cloud deployment details
- Use of Generative AI (GenAI) and its security implications
- The application’s role in business operations and revenue impact
By automating this analysis through AI-driven deep code-to-cloud scanning, security and development teams gain the clarity needed to prioritize vulnerabilities effectively.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Automated Context Detection: Instantly assess an application’s business impact and security risk factors.
- Comprehensive Code-to-Cloud Analysis: Correlate multiple data points, such as cloud exposure, API connections, AI usage, and security compliance.
- Dynamic Application Bill of Materials (SBOM): Maintain an up-to-date inventory of APIs, data stores, external services, AI models, and critical components for security monitoring and integration with existing CMDBs.
- Advanced Risk Scoring and Prioritization: Focus remediation efforts on vulnerabilities posing the greatest business risk, with customizable workflows for optimized decision-making.
Expanding Security Capabilities
Alongside the launch of Legit Context, Legit Security has introduced Application API Discovery, a centralized feature that enables organizations to:
- Detect and manage all APIs associated with an application
- Monitor API changes that could introduce security risks
- Analyze authentication, authorization, and internet exposure vulnerabilities
With these enhancements, Legit Security continues to redefine ASPM, providing organizations with the deep visibility, actionable insights, and automation necessary to safeguard their software development lifecycle.
