Production-first Security: Why Runtime Intelligence Should Drive Application Security
<div cla TL;DR Traditional application security focuses on finding vulnerabilities before code ships. However, pre-production scanning identifies theoretical risks while production reveals what is actually reachable, exploitable, and under active attack. Production-first security leverages runtime intelligence to prioritize remediation, giving teams visibility into real-world attack patterns rather than hypothetical weaknesses.
