Application Security vs Traditional Security
Traditional perimeter-based security is no longer sufficient. Here’s why application
security demands a fundamentally different approach.
70%
of breaches target application layer vulnerabilities
$4.26M
average cost of a data breach in 2024
266 days
average time to identify and contain a breach
Traditional Security Approach
Perimeter Focus: Firewalls, IDS/IPS protection
Reactive Testing: Occurs after development
Manual Processes: Periodic pentests and audits
Siloed Teams: Security team separate from development
Assumption: Trust internal network traffic
Shift Left: Security at the Speed of Development
Shift Left Security finds issues early, when they’re easiest to fix. Built into developer workflows, it delivers instant feedback and enables faster, safer releases without slowing teams down.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does application security testing cover for Australian development teams?
Application security testing covers SAST, DAST, IAST and SCA, examining code, runtime behaviour and open-source dependencies. Intrix embeds these checks directly into the software development lifecycle for Australian teams, catching insecure coding patterns, configuration issues and vulnerable libraries long before an application reaches production environments and users.
What is the difference between SAST and DAST testing methods used in Australia?
SAST is white-box testing that analyses source code without executing the application, finding insecure coding patterns early. DAST is black-box testing that simulates real attacks against a running application. Intrix combines both for Australian clients, alongside IAST and SCA, for comprehensive coverage across every stage of development.
How does shift left security fit into a fast-moving development workflow in Australia?
Shift left security moves testing earlier into planning and development, where issues are cheapest to fix. Intrix integrates automated security gates into CI/CD pipelines for Australian teams, delivering instant feedback without slowing release velocity. Fixing issues at this stage costs roughly six times less than remediation after deployment.
Can security scanning be built directly into our GitHub Actions or Jenkins pipeline for teams in Australia?
Yes. Intrix integrates security gates into GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, Bitbucket Pipelines and AWS CodePipeline for Australian development teams. Coverage spans pull request scanning, pre-commit secret detection, container scanning and production DAST, with severity-based blocking rules that stop vulnerable code before it ever ships to production.
How do I know if the open-source libraries in my codebase are vulnerable, working in Australia?
Software composition analysis scans your codebase for known vulnerabilities in open-source libraries and third-party components. Intrix matches dependencies against CVE databases, tracks license compliance and scores dependency risk for Australian organisations. Automated update recommendations then help development teams patch vulnerable packages before attackers can exploit them first.
I want security to become a shared responsibility across development, not just one team, in Australia.
Building a DevSecOps culture means treating security as everyone's responsibility rather than a separate siloed function. Intrix helps Australian organisations embed automated scanning, zero trust principles and compliance-by-design into everyday development workflows. This shift replaces reactive, periodic testing with continuous security feedback throughout the entire development pipeline.
Is there an ongoing application security service in Australia rather than a one-off assessment?
AppSec as a Service provides continuous, subscription-based security coverage rather than a single point-in-time test. Intrix delivers this to Australian development teams, combining regular automated scanning with expert manual review as applications evolve. This ongoing model catches new vulnerabilities introduced by frequent code changes and feature releases quickly.
