What is ASM?

ASM can refer to several technologies depending on the context. It most commonly refers to **Assembly Language**, a low-level programming language that uses symbolic representations of machine code instructions. It's used for direct hardware manipulation, operating systems, and embedded systems where performance and control are critical. ASM can also refer to **Application Security Management**, which encompasses tools and practices for securing applications throughout their lifecycle, including vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and runtime application self-protection (RASP).
