Strobes ASPM

Strobes ASPM brings results from multiple application-security tools into a shared, risk-ranked workflow for developers and security teams. It is best suited to mid-market and larger organizations coordinating substantial security workloads. Its mix of prioritization, CI/CD controls, and remediation automation is broad, but the free tier is capped and paid plans start at $29,000 per year.

Overview

Strobes ingests findings from SAST, DAST, software composition analysis, container scanners, penetration tests, and bug bounty programs. It correlates results, maps ownership, supports remediation workflows, and manages SBOMs. That makes it a coordination layer for teams working across existing AppSec tools, rather than a reason to replace those scanners.

Risk scoring accounts for exploit likelihood, asset criticality, and compensating controls, with EPSS and KEV included in the risk context. This gives security teams more than raw severity when deciding what to address first, though the usefulness of any ranking depends on having relevant asset and finding data in the system.

Key features

Triage and remediation

AI agents can triage and deduplicate findings, create tickets, route work to teams, track SLAs, and verify fixes by rescanning. Connecting these steps can reduce handoffs for teams with high finding volumes; organizations seeking only a dashboard or a single scanner may find this workflow breadth unnecessary.

CI/CD controls and integrations

Strobes says it can block critical findings in CI/CD, warn on high findings, and provide feedback in pull requests. This gives teams a way to surface security issues during development, with different responses for different risk levels. The integrations catalog names more than 100 tools, including Nessus, Qualys, Burp Suite, Acunetix, Rapid7, Nuclei, Snyk, Checkmarx, SonarQube, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Prisma Cloud, and Wiz.

API and security

A GraphQL API supports querying and mutating assets, findings, engagements, and assessments, useful for teams that need programmatic access to platform data. Strobes states that it holds SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001:2022 certifications, is CREST certified and CERT-In empanelled, and uses SOC 2 certified data centers, network segmentation, intrusion detection, 24/7 monitoring, and regular third-party penetration testing.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing, billed forever. It includes up to 100 assets, 500 tasks per month, ASM, RBVM, ASPM, one connector, and community support. That is a useful way to evaluate the platform or handle a small footprint, but the asset and task ceilings and single connector constrain broader tool coverage.

Starter costs $29,000 a year, billed annually. It raises the limits to 1,000 assets and 1,000 tasks per month, includes unlimited connectors and email support, and retains ASM, RBVM, and ASPM. It suits a smaller organization that needs more connections, but the task allowance is only twice the free tier's despite the substantial annual price.

Growth costs $45,000 a year, billed annually, and covers 1,001–25,000 assets and up to 25,000 tasks per month. It adds unlimited connectors and users plus a dedicated CSM, making it the clearer fit for larger teams and heavier workloads. Enterprise has custom pricing, starts at 25,001 assets with custom task limits, and includes unlimited connectors and users, a TAM, SLA, and custom MSA.

A 14-day trial provides full access to ASM, RBVM, PTaaS, ASPM, and AI Agents, with guided onboarding from a dedicated security engineer. It offers a broader evaluation than the permanently free tier, without changing the ongoing plan limits.

Platforms

Strobes is available through an API and web interface, with cloud SaaS or private deployment options. That flexibility is relevant to organizations with deployment requirements beyond a standard SaaS setup.

Who it's for

Strobes is aimed at security teams from mid-market companies to large organizations with complex, high-volume environments. It is a stronger fit when teams need to combine multiple scanner outputs with ownership, prioritization, policy enforcement, and remediation tracking. Smaller teams with few assets or tools may be adequately served by the free tier, while the paid entry price makes Starter a difficult step up unless its higher asset allowance and unlimited connectors are necessary.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Ingests findings across major AppSec categories and correlates them into a risk-prioritized view, reducing the need to assess each tool's output separately.
• Pros: AI triage, ticket routing, SLA tracking, and rescanning connect prioritization to remediation follow-through.
• Pros: More than 100 integrations, a GraphQL API, and cloud or private deployment support varied toolchains and operating needs.
• Cons: Free is limited to 100 assets, 500 monthly tasks, and one connector, which restricts its usefulness for broad deployments.
• Cons: Starter costs $29,000 a year for 1,000 assets and 1,000 monthly tasks, a substantial commitment for teams that have outgrown Free but do not need Growth-scale capacity.

Alternatives

ArcherySec is a better fit for teams that want a free, GPL-3.0-licensed, self-hosted option across API, web, and desktop platforms. OWASP DefectDojo suits teams seeking a free forever Community Edition, with support through OWASP Slack and GitHub; its Pay As You Go plan is 100.00 US.

Conviso Platform is worth considering for a small team that can work within its Free tier's five contributing developers, five assets, ten users, and two integrations. ScanDog may fit teams looking for a free plan capped at three products, ten workflows, two users, and 30 AI fixes per month.

Harness Security Testing Orchestration is an alternative for teams considering Harness's security testing orchestration plans. OX Security is another paid option, with listed OX Code capabilities spanning SAST, SCA, secrets and PII, SBOM, IaC, CI/CD, container scanning, IDE, and CLI.

Vulnetix Resolve and PointGuard AI are other paid alternatives to consider.

Verdict

Strobes ASPM is a strong choice for mid-market and larger security teams that need to turn findings from many tools into prioritized, owned, tracked remediation work. Its standout advantage is the connection between risk context, CI/CD controls, and automated follow-through. Look elsewhere if your needs are modest or budget-sensitive: the free plan is narrowly capped, and meaningful paid capacity begins at $29,000 per year.
