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.
The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is a free and open industry standard for assessing the severity of computer system security vulnerabilities. CVSS attempts to assign severity scores to vulnerabilities, allowing responders to prioritize responses and resources according to threat. Scores are calculated based on a formula that ...
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 ...
Information security standards (also cyber security standards[1]) are techniques generally outlined in published materials that attempt to protect the cyber environment of a user or organization. [2] This environment includes users themselves, networks, devices, all software, processes, information in storage or transit, applications, services ...
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 ...
Cross-site scripting. Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a type of security vulnerability that can be found in some web applications. XSS attacks enable attackers to inject client-side scripts into web pages viewed by other users. A cross-site scripting vulnerability may be used by attackers to bypass access controls such as the same-origin policy.
The OWASP provides a broad technical definition for a WAF as “a security solution on the web application level which - from a technical point of view - does not depend on the application itself.” [9] According to the PCI DSS Information Supplement for requirement 6.6, a WAF is defined as “a security policy enforcement point positioned ...
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 ...
