CrowdStrike Named a Customers’ Choice in the 2026 Gartner Peer Insights™ ‘Voice of the Customer’ for Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) Tools Report

Key Terms

application security posture management technical

A framework and set of tools that continuously checks and improves the security of software applications by finding weak settings, vulnerabilities, and gaps in controls across the development and deployment process. Like routine health checkups and a maintenance schedule for a fleet of cars, it helps companies reduce the risk of costly breaches, regulatory fines, and downtime—factors that can directly affect revenue, reputation, and investor value.

devsecops technical

DevSecOps is the practice of building security checks into the whole software creation and delivery process instead of treating security as a separate step at the end. For investors, it matters because products that find and fix vulnerabilities earlier tend to ship faster, cost less to maintain, and carry lower risk of damaging breaches or regulatory fines — much like installing quality and safety checks on a car while it’s being assembled rather than after it leaves the factory.

cnapp technical

A CNAPP (cloud-native application protection platform) is a software suite that protects applications built to run in the cloud by combining tools for finding vulnerabilities, stopping attacks, and enforcing safety rules across the whole development and runtime lifecycle. For investors, CNAPPs matter because they reduce the risk of costly data breaches, service outages and regulatory fines—similar to an integrated alarm, lock and insurance policy for a business’s online operations—helping safeguard revenue and reputation.

api technical

An API, or Application Programming Interface, is a set of rules that allows different software programs to communicate and work together smoothly, much like a waiter translating your order into the kitchen and then bringing your meal back. For investors, APIs are important because they enable real-time access to financial data, trading systems, and other digital services, making it easier to make informed decisions quickly and efficiently.

software bill of materials (sbom) technical

A software bill of materials (SBOM) is a detailed inventory that lists all the pieces, libraries and third‑party code used to build a software product — like an ingredient label for an app. Investors pay attention because SBOMs expose security weaknesses, licensing obligations and maintenance needs that can create unexpected costs, outages or legal risk; having a clear SBOM helps assess operational resilience and the potential future cost of keeping the software safe and compliant.
