OWASP. The Open Worldwide Application Security Project [7] (OWASP) is an online community that produces freely available articles, methodologies, documentation, tools, and technologies in the fields of IoT, system software and web application security. [8][9][10] The OWASP provides free and open resources.
Web API security. Web API security entails authenticating programs or users who are invoking a web API. Along with the ease of API integrations come the difficulties of ensuring proper authentication (AuthN) and authorization (AuthZ). In a multitenant environment, security controls based on proper AuthN and AuthZ can help ensure that API access ...
Dynamic application security testing (DAST) represents a non-functional testing process to identify security weaknesses and vulnerabilities in an application. This testing process can be carried out either manually or by using automated tools. Manual assessment of an application involves human intervention to identify the security flaws which ...
Application security (short AppSec) includes all tasks that introduce a secure software development life cycle to development teams. Its final goal is to improve security practices and, through that, to find, fix and preferably prevent security issues within applications. It encompasses the whole application life cycle from requirements ...
Website. www.zaproxy.org. ZAP by Checkmarx (short for Zed Attack Proxy), formerly known as ZAP and OWASP ZAP, is an open-source web application security scanner. It is intended to be used by both those new to application security as well as professional penetration testers. It has been one of the most active Open Worldwide Application Security ...
Security testing. Security testing is a process intended to detect flaws in the security mechanisms of an information system and as such help enable it to protect data and maintain functionality as intended. [1] Due to the logical limitations of security testing, passing the security testing process is not an indication that no flaws exist or ...
Interactive application security testing (abbreviated as IAST) [1] is a security testing method that detects software vulnerabilities by interaction with the program coupled with observation and sensors. [2][3] The tool was launched by several application security companies. [4] It is distinct from static application security testing, which ...
Static application security testing (SAST) is used to secure software by reviewing the source code of the software to identify sources of vulnerabilities. Although the process of statically analyzing the source code has existed as long as computers have existed [clarification needed], the technique spread to security in the late 90s and the ...
