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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
OWASP pytm is a Pythonic framework for threat modeling and the first Threat-Model-as-Code tool: The system is first defined in Python using the elements and properties described in the pytm framework. Based on this definition, pytm can generate a Data Flow Diagram (DFD), a Sequence Diagram and most important of all, threats to the system.
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.
