Evolving Application Security Documentation, One Step at a Time

In 2024, the documentation team at Digital.ai launched a new customer docs portal with a clear goal: make it easier for you to find, understand, and apply the technical information you need when you need it. Our new portal brought all product documentation into a unified, modern experience, with consistent navigation and improved search capabilities.

In 2025, we began a deeper, more deliberate review of the documentation for each product area. We asked a simple question: where do customers still struggle to find their way? That work continues into 2026, with Application Security as one of our key focus areas.

A Unified Foundation for Application Security Documentation

As technical writers and information architects, a major aspect of our job is reducing the cognitive load customers face when learning and working with complex software. For Application Security users, that challenge often begins before the first configuration step. Simply understanding where to start, what applies to their use case, and how different pieces fit together.

While our product and engineering teams are making their own impressive strides towards ease-of-use with new solutions like the Quick Protect Agent, documentation must play its part as well. Over the past year, we have made a few targeted updates designed to support both first-time users and experienced customers looking for specific configuration details. The core of this journey is a centralized entry point for all Application Security documentation.

• All Digital.ai Application Security product documentation can now be accessed from a central hub with a streamlined structure that clearly separates conceptual material, configuration guidance, and reference content.
• A new Content Directory provides direct access to docs for each individual AppSec product.
• Shared concepts and terminology are consolidated in one place, while new resources like a comprehensive Best Practice guide and a Quick Start Guide for the Quick Protect Agent should help shorten the path from initial setup to meaningful protection.
• We’ve also added dedicated content on common application security threats and defensive strategies to help you understand not just how to configure protections, but why they matter and what real-world risks they address.

These updates are only the first phase of an ongoing effort to truly overhaul the Application Security documentation experience.

A Note on Authentication and Access

It’s worth noting here that the majority of Application Security documentation contains sensitive and proprietary information that requires authentication to view. We have now made some content available to the public, but technical guides and configuration details always require Digital.ai customer credentials.

Application Security for Apple: A Refreshed Experience

Our Application Security for Apple product is a cornerstone solution for iOS developers. Yet, as one of our most mature products, its documentation has accumulated layers of content over time, making it especially difficult for new users to find their footing. 

To that end, we’ve completely updated the Quick Start Guide, creating one streamlined page that helps to implement basic protection for your iOS applications quickly and efficiently. 

This is just the beginning for our Application Security for Apple documentation refresh. We know that even experienced users can be slowed down by disjointed or outdated information. We’re actively working on deprecating outdated content, consolidating overlapping materials, and revising sections that may have become confusing or overly detailed over the years.  

The goal is clarity and momentum. You can still access in-depth configuration and advanced scenarios in the full documentation, but the Quick Start Guide especially provides a clear first step. 

Looking ahead, we’re applying this same approach to our other products. Soon, we’ll have a similar Quick Start Guide for Application Security for Windows, using the lessons we’ve learned from the Apple refresh to create an equally smooth onboarding experience. 

Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) Downloads

Transparency in software composition is critical for security and compliance, especially when it comes to understanding the use of open-source and other third-party components.

To address this need, we’ve added a dedicated Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) page to our documentation. This resource provides downloadable SBOM files listing the components and dependencies used in our products, helping you meet requirements for transparency, compliance reviews, and any other regulatory audits.

The Road Goes Ever On

These improvements lay a strong foundation, but documentation is never truly “done”. It must evolve with our customers’ needs.

Throughout 2026 and beyond, you can expect ongoing updates, expanded guidance, and iterative refinements across all Application Security documentation. We are committed to improving quality and usability, listening closely to your feedback, and identifying new ways to make your journey through our documentation even better.
