Glossary · Reachability analysis

Reachability

Reachability asks whether vulnerable code is actually on a path that runtime input can reach. A finding that is reachable and proven is prioritized; one that is unreachable is de-emphasized. It is the single biggest lever for noise reduction.

How apPosture treats it

apPosture is a self-hosted, proof-based ASPM platform: it confirms findings with real, safe exploits, correlates every source into one risk-weighted posture, and runs entirely inside your infrastructure with a local LLM. See the proof methodology or the platform.
