Application Overview

🎯 1. Day in the Life of an AppSec Engineer Using This Chart

An AppSec engineer will:

Morning check-in:
- Review all applications, their Business Ratings, and vulnerability counts at a glance.
- Focus first on high-business-impact apps (e.g., Application Name 1 with score 98).
Prioritize triage:
- Investigate applications and repositories with the highest number of Critical (red) and High (orange) issues.
Pipeline health review:
- Quickly verify which PBOM scans (e.g., SAST, Secrets, PII, Cloud security) are active for each app and repo via the icons.
Assign actions:
- If an app or repo has critical issues and incomplete PBOM coverage, escalate for immediate remediation, or flag for security champions.
Prepare reports:
- Pull quick numbers for weekly reporting to AppSec leadership or development teams — "Top 5 apps with most criticals."

This dashboard view enables:

Unified Risk Visibility:
- Shows the risk posture at the application level with repo drill-down — allowing aggregation and prioritization.
Faster SLA tracking:
- Instantly detect apps that may violate vulnerability remediation SLA based on open critical/high findings.
Pipeline Assurance:
- AppSec engineers can easily validate whether full security testing is integrated across Dev → Build → Deploy pipelines.
Business-Context Prioritization:
- Business rating ensures security teams focus on high-value or customer-facing apps first, not just tech debt.

Which apps are most at risk?
- Based on critical vulnerability counts combined with Business Rating.
Where is PBOM coverage incomplete?
- Missing icons for phases (e.g., no cloud security scan) triggers follow-up.
Which repos under an app need immediate action?
- Repo-level breakdown shows how risk is distributed internally.
Where should resources be allocated?
- High-risk, business-critical apps (98 rating) take priority for AppSec escalations or audits.
Are pipeline security gates working?
- If PBOM icons show gaps (e.g., no SAST, no IaC scan), need engineering fixes.

Field	Meaning
Business Rating	A score (likely 0–100) reflecting app's importance to business. Higher = more critical.
App Name	Application under management. Expanding shows associated repositories.
Issues (Critical, High, Medium)	Colored dots (🔴 critical, 🟠 high, 🟡 medium) with counts for each severity.
PBOM (Pipeline Bill of Materials) Icons	Small icons representing security scans integrated at different phases (e.g., SAST, Secrets detection, PII scan, Cloud security).

Icon	Likely Represents
Shield	SAST (Static code analysis)
Shield + Lock	Dependency/Package Analysis (SCA)
Expansion Arrows	PII/Secrets scanning
Document	Build Artifact Security (e.g., SBOM generation)
Magnifying Glass	DAST or API Security Scan
Eye Mask	Secrets Management (runtime secrets scan)
Package Shield	Container Security
Cloud Icon	Cloud/IaC Security

Color	Meaning
🔴 Red	Critical vulnerabilities
🟠 Orange	High severity vulnerabilities
🟡 Yellow	Medium severity vulnerabilities

(Just briefly, as you asked to exclude deep details)

The Application Overview chart gives AppSec engineers a single pane of glass to:

Prioritize applications by business risk and security risk.
Audit PBOM coverage across dev-build-deploy phases.
Triage open criticals quickly across applications and repos.
Drive data-driven, business-aligned security decisions — not just fix findings randomly.
