## AI overview

This article explains application vulnerability management as a lifecycle approach for identifying, classifying, remediating, mitigating, reporting, and continuously monitoring application vulnerabilities. It describes how DevSecOps practices such as containerization, infrastructure as code, AI coding assistants, and third-party code require security teams to adapt existing techniques. It also covers enterprise practices including automation, management tools, SIEM systems, and regulatory mapping.
