Where does SCA (dependency scanning) fit in a CISO program?
Application Security covers the full SDLC: SAST, DAST, SCA (software composition / dependency scanning), API security, runtime application protection, and secrets scanning. AppSec investments shift work left to engineering, which is the only sustainable model — security teams can't review every commit. SCA (dependency scanning) fits in this layer alongside developer training and code-review process. The ROI is highest for companies whose primary product is software (SaaS, fintech, AI startups), where a single OWASP Top-10 vulnerability in a critical API can be a Sev-0 incident.
