Security Application
A security application is the software or workload boundary analysts use to reason about business function, data, and risk in security decisions—not a repo, deployment unit, or catalog row alone.
Security Application
Definition
A security application is the software or workload boundary analysts use to reason about business function, data, and risk in security decisions.
It is a decision object: the capability findings, access events, and exposures attach to when explaining what organizational function could be harmed or abused. It may span multiple technical services, assets, and identity bindings—not a single repository name or scanner record.
SentriScope Usage
SentriScope normalizes applications as canonical entities (KID-ARC-0001) so prioritization, investigations, and attack paths can explain why business impact differs across environments. This entry defines the term only.
