Application Security Testing (AST) is a method of preparing applications to be unaffected by security threats. Applications remain a major cause of external breaches. Cybercrime is up by 600% due to Covid-19 pandemic. Many organizations have started to recognize the importance of application security. They are embedding security more tightly in the development phase of the application. As the application development continues to evolve, organization need to stay on top of the emerging security technologies’ and testing services.
How can Pro – Test help you?
At Pro – Test, we believe that Application Security Testing should be implemented throughout the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). We have a specialized team of testers offering advanced AST services using latest tools and technologies :
Pro – Test Application Security Testing:
Static Application Security Testing (SAST) : The purpose of SAST is to identify exploitable flaws and provide a detailed report including findings and recommendations. It assesses the source code while at rest. SAST offers accuracy in recognizing flaws in the code. It identifies vulnerabilities specific to the code.
Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) : DAST tools examine the application during runtime. The purpose of DAST tool is to uncover exploitable errors using a wide range of attacks. DAST checks a wide range of components, including scripting, sessions, data injection, authentication, interfaces, responses, and requests.
Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) : IAST tools are the advancement of SAST and DAST tools. This combines the two approaches to detect a wider range of security weaknesses. IAST tools offer valuable information about root cause of vulnerabilities and precise lines of code that are affected, making remediation much simpler.
Secure SLC Integration – Shift Left : With the shift to DevSecOps, organizations are emphasizing on the need to integrate security at every stage of the software development lifecycle. It is common to incorporate security testing tools into the continuous integration / continuous delivery (CI/CD) cycle.Shifting security testing left can help developers understand security issues and implement security best practices while software is under development. This also helps our testers find the errors early before the software application goes into production.
Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP) : RASP is an emerging security technology capable of controlling application execution and it designed to detect and prevent attacks on applications in real time. Being server-based, RASP security is able to detect, block, and mitigate attacks immediately, protecting applications as they run in real time by analysing both application behaviour and context.
