## AI overview

The article explains how internal developer portals can help AppSec teams support self-sufficient developers by consolidating vulnerability and misconfiguration data from multiple security tools and software development stages. By providing security information in context through catalogs, self-service remediation actions, and scorecards, portals can reduce cognitive load and dependency on AppSec teams.
