  • Application security testing (AST) strengthens applications' resistance to security threats by locating security flaws and vulnerabilities in source code.
  • AST was initially a manual procedure. AST needs to be automated in the modern day due to the increasing modularity of corporate software, the enormous number of open-source components, and the great number of known vulnerabilities and threat vectors.

Most businesses combine various application security technologies, including

1.SAST - Static Application Security Testing

  • SAST tools employ a white box testing methodology, in which testers examine an application's internal workings. SAST examines static source code and highlights security flaws.

2. DAST - Dynamic Application Security Testing

  • The use of DAST tools is a black box testing strategy. They run the code and look at it in real time, looking for problems that might be security flaws.

3. IAST - Interactive Application Security Testing

  • SAST and DAST tools have evolved into IAST tools, which combine the two methodologies to find a larger variety of security flaws. IAST tools run dynamically and inspect software as it is being used, like DAST tools.

4. MAST - Mobile Application Security Testing

  • MAST tools integrate forensic data provided by mobile applications with static analysis, dynamic analysis, and investigation. They are crucial for assessing the security of mobile apps.

5. SCA - Software Composition Analysis

  • Organizations can undertake an inventory of the open source and commercial third-party software components they employ by using SCA tools. Numerous third-party components that enterprise programs may use could be security vulnerable.

5. RASP - Runtime Application Self-Protection

  • Tools like SAST, DAST, and IAST gave rise to RASP. To identify and stop cyber risks, they can examine application traffic and user activity in real time.

For comprehensive security assessments, organizations often rely on penetration testing services, web application security testing, software vulnerability scanning, and mobile app security assessment to ensure that their applications are secure and resilient against cyber threats.

Why Application security testing is important for an organization?

  • To assist developers in comprehending security issues and enforcing security best practises at the development stage itself.
  • To help testers in locating security vulnerabilities before the software is put for production and sale.
  • Production-ready source code vulnerabilities can be found and blocked using sophisticated technologies like RASP.
