All tasks that introduce a secure software development life cycle to development teams are included in application security shortly known as AppSec. Its ultimate purpose is to improve security practices and, as a result, detect, repair, and, ideally, avoid security flaws in applications. It covers the entire application life cycle, including requirements analysis, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance.
SAST aids in the detection of code flaws by examining the application source files for the root cause. The ability to compare static analysis scan results with real-time solutions speeds up the detection of security problems, decreasing MTTR and enabling collaborative troubleshooting.
DAST is a more proactive approach, simulating security breaches on a live web application to deliver precise information about exploitable flaws. DAST is especially useful for detecting runtime or environment-related errors because it evaluates applications in production.
IAST combines parts of SAST and DAST by performing analysis in real-time or at any moment during the development or production process from within the application. IAST has access to all of the application’s code and components, allowing it to produce more accurate results and provide more in-depth access than previous versions.
RASP also works within the application, but it is more concerned with security than with testing. RASP provides continuous security checks and automatic responses to possible breaches, which includes terminating the session and informing IT teams.
These issues relate to how users are authenticated and authorized to access the application. For example, an application that does not properly implement authentication could be vulnerable to unauthorized access.
These issues relate to the protection of sensitive data, such as personal identifiable information (PII) and financial information. For example, an application that does not properly encrypt data could be vulnerable to data breaches.
These issues relate to how user input is validated. For example, an application that does not properly validate user input could be vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
These issues relate to how sessions are managed. For example, an application that does not properly manage sessions could be vulnerable to session hijacking attacks.
These issues relate to the quality of the code that makes up the application. For example, an application that is not well-written could be vulnerable to a variety of attacks.
