Let’s explore and compare Orchestrations or Security Orchestration and Correlation (ASOC) tools with the distinctive features of Backslash.
The core function of Orchestration tools lies in aggregating data from various application security tools and solutions. Its broad integration and correlation capabilities help provide a quick overview of the AppSec landscape. They generally offer out-of-the-box integration with open-source security tools, which is beneficial but also has its limitations. However, relying solely on ASOC and its native open-source integrations poses challenges:
| AppSec and Dev Collaboration |
 |
ASOC (Application Security Orchestration and Correlation) |
|---|---|---|
| Integration | Simple, quick, and easy integration with the Git repository enables the provision of a complete security posture. | Integrates out of the box with open-source software, providing broad but shallow and noisy results. Additionally, integration with commercial tools requires a significant amount of work. |
| Implementation Ease | 30 minute implementation providing results within minutes. | Implementation requires many integration, making the implementation phase long and difficult |
| Precision and Depth | Emphasizes a meticulous and targeted strategy, offering in-depth security analysis and precise prioritization for effective risk mitigation. | Provides high-level results but lack the depth required for intricate security contexts and risk mitigation |
| Built-in Reachability Analysis | Offers reachability analysis out of the box for superior prioritization. | Necessitate additional tools and costs for deeper insights. |
| Vulnerability Prioritization | Offers precise prioritization for vulnerabilities based on reachability analysis, coupled with advanced features like EPSS, VEX and SBOM. | Prioritization is dependent on open source tools, lacking deep application context and leaving high numbers of vulnerabilities and false-positives |
| Appsec and Dev collaboration | Gives Appsec visibility while still enabling collaboration by providing deep context for developers. | Built for visibility only, missing deep context for dev teams. |
| Cost-Efficiency | Bundles SAST, SCA and secrets in one solution, providing comprehensive coverage for reduce cost. | Involve additional costs for integrating multiple tools to achieve a better AppSec strategy. |
| Accountability and support on results | Offers clear accountability and detailed results, facilitating efficient issue resolution. | Lacks inherent accountability for results, and issues may require collaboration with integrated tools, potentially leading to delays |

Orchestration tools are only as good as the tools they work with, meaning they aren't standalone solutions. Backslash takes a focused and detailed approach to application security. Prioritizing precision, Backslash places emphasis on depth, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the complexities inherent in potential security threats. This approach makes Backslash a great choice for organizations looking to get a clear visibility on your environment risk posture and prioritize accordingly.
