For Web3 and fintech companies, a leaked CI credential or an unreviewed code change isn’t a DevOps incident — it’s a direct path to customer funds, private keys, and regulated data.
CI/CD Security, Secret Scanning & Application Security Posture
THE CHALLENGE
Web3 and fintech companies ship fast and every release cycle creates new credentials, new cloud permissions, and new code that touches financial infrastructure. The problem isn’t a lack of security tools; most teams already run SAST scanners, SCA tools, and secret detection in some form. The problem is that these tools generate disconnected findings with no shared context. A critical vulnerability in a payment service looks identical in a dashboard to a low-risk finding in an internal admin tool — until an attacker exploits the difference.
THE RESULT
ASPM solves the consolidation and prioritisation problem. Instead of managing five separate security tool outputs, teams get a single risk view from design through code to deployment with findings ranked by business impact, reachability, and the sensitivity of the data and infrastructure they touch.
DESIGN
(BEFORE CODE IS WRITTEN)
- AI-based threat modeling: generate threats and mitigations on new features before development begins
- Risk detection at the design phase — identify architectural flaws before they become code
- Contextual security questionnaires eliminate manual steps and accelerate secure design
- AutoFix Agent: prevent design-level flaws from entering the codebase entirely
DEVELOP
(IN CODE)
- Secrets security: detect, validate, fix, and prevent secrets exposure — commit-time and repo-wide
- Material code change detection: flag high-risk changes for review — PCI v4, NIST, SOC2 aligned
- Crown-jewel application detection: identify and prioritise your most critical services automatically
- Risk-based code reviews: trigger security review only when business logic changes — not on every PR
- Software supply chain (XBOM): real-time inventory of every dependency, library, and component
DELIVER
(CI/CD & PIPELINE)
- Software supply chain security (SSCS): protect SCM and CI/CD pipelines from injection and tampering
- Automated release risk assessment: block high-risk releases before they reach production
- Policy enforcement gates at build and deploy — enforced by the Risk Graph, not manual review
- Change-driven penetration testing: automatically trigger testing on high-risk code changes
- AutoFix Agent for delivery: enforce policies and fix risks pre-release without slowing the pipeline
HOW AEROWAVE HELPS
Most application security programmes don’t fail because of the wrong tool. They fail because the deployment scope was defined before anyone understood the actual risk profile. When LTP needed to consolidate fragmented AppSec tooling into a unified view across their supply chain and SDLC, Aerowave came in, scoped the engagement properly, and supported the deployment through to operationalisation. No additional analyst overhead. A security framework that actually connected code-level risk to policy.
That’s how we work. We bring ASPM platforms into conversations where supply chain visibility and consolidated risk posture have outpaced your current tooling — and we stay in the room to make sure findings don’t just surface, they get acted on.
