Phoenix Security Community Edition 100 users

Phoenix Security Reaches a new milestone reaching above 1000 users on the community edition.

“We had a dream one year ago to help security professionals around the globe reach more developers and scale their application and cloud security programme better. 

Today the collaboration with OWASP Group and the validation of the community reinforce that dream,” Said Francesco Cipollone, CEO and Founder of Phoenix Security 

AppSec Phoenix is a next-gen Gartner Leader in ASOC correlating Application Security and Cloud Security with a risk and execution focus. We help scale application security and vulnerability management programs with a Cyber Risk Quantification focus. We help CISOs and executives set risk-based targets that translate to task-list for engineers. With our ARCTIQ technology and graph, we help the team correlate and visualise the vulnerability that will hurt them next. 

The organization currently are facing multiple challenges, with security professionals burning out and having more than 54% in a recent survey from cobalt

From a recent joint industry investigation, only 5-10% of vulnerabilities are exploitable.

We aim to help every professional around the globe go back to their ikigai, their passion for doing security work at scale, freeing them from the constant triage. 

We want to give security professionals the ability to enable developers to shift left with confidence, ensuring that the triage is handled at scale, consistently leveraging cyber threat intel, contextualisation and prioritising vulnerabilities accordingly.

Francesco is an internationally renowned public speaker, with multiple interviews in high-profile publications (eg. Forbes), and an author of numerous books and articles, who utilises his platform to evangelize the importance of Cloud security and cutting-edge technologies on a global scale.

Are never-ending critical alerts leaving you scrambling? Explore how reachability analysis identifies vulnerabilities that truly matter, saving your teams from needless patch frenzies. This session, hosted by the OWASP NYC Chapter, uncovers the latest insights in ASPM, remediation techniques, and application security best practices. Attendees learn how to streamline vulnerability management through practical examples, advanced risk scoring, and live demonstrations of container-based architectures. Expect lively discussions, real-world success stories, and expert tips on targeting only the exploitable weaknesses—rather than chasing every single alert in your backlog.
Francesco Cipollone
The cybersecurity landscape is evolving rapidly, demanding a threat-centric, risk-based approach to vulnerability management. With the U.S. favoring voluntary guidelines and Europe enforcing stricter regulations, organizations must navigate compliance while focusing on real exploitability over CVE volume. This blog delves into ASPM, cloud security, and regulatory intelligence, exploring how businesses can move beyond the traditional patch-and-pray model to address root cause vulnerabilities before they become critical risks.
Francesco Cipollone
Enhance your vulnerability management with Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) and reachability analysis. Discover how ASPM helps prioritize exploitable vulnerabilities, reduce security noise, and improve risk management. Learn about advanced techniques like code and container reachability, contextual deduplication, and Phoenix Security’s cutting-edge solutions for smarter, more effective application security.

The 2024 CWE Top 25 is out, and it’s no casual stroll through the vulnerability garden—especially when ransomware operators are busy planting path traversal exploits, while bug bounty hunters dig up endless injection flaws. In this blog, we examine the biggest risers, the most surprising dips, and the divergence between real-world exploit data and official CWE rankings. We’ll also reveal how AI-driven ASPM (Application Security Posture Management) and Phoenix Security’s contextual risk-based approach unite to help you focus on your most pressing threats. After all, not all flaws are created equal—some are simply more mischievous than others.
