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 OWASP Top 10 - 2017 results from recent research based on comprehensive data compiled from over 40 partner organizations. This data revealed approximately 2.3 million vulnerabilities across over 50,000 applications. [4] According to the OWASP Top 10 - 2021, the ten most critical web application security risks include: [5] Broken access control
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 ...
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 ...
Dynamic application security testing. 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 ...
Vulnerability assessment (computing) Vulnerability assessment is a process of defining, identifying and classifying the security holes in information technology systems. An attacker can exploit a vulnerability to violate the security of a system. Some known vulnerabilities are Authentication Vulnerability, Authorization Vulnerability and Input ...
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 ...
Burp Suite. Burp Suite is a proprietary software tool for security assessment and penetration testing of web applications. [1][2] It software was initially developed in 2003-2006 by Dafydd Stuttard [3] to automate his own security testing needs, after realizing the capabilities of automatable web tools like Selenium. [4]
