Case Study: Applied Systems improves app security coverage and reduces noise with Escape

Applied Systems reduces security noise by 10x with Escape

Applied Systems, a technology company that grew rapidly through acquisitions, faced significant application security challenges due to its complex authentication processes and sprawling infrastructure. Their existing security tools were ineffective, prompting them to seek a new Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) solution from a vendor like Escape.

Escape implemented a custom authentication solution that successfully navigated the client's unique requirements during its proof-of-concept, a feat other vendors could not achieve. This resulted in dramatically reduced noise, more complex and relevant findings, and a tenfold increase in team efficiency for validating vulnerabilities. The partnership with Escape also provided powerful features like visual validation through screenshot captures and intelligent deduplication, which streamlined coverage verification and protected developers from alert fatigue.
