Static Code Analysis
Static code analysis identifies security vulnerabilities and coding issues without executing the code, improving software quality and security.
5 Essential Application Security Controls
Application security controls are technology-independent collections of policies, procedures, and standards to secure software, devices, users, network, and data.
What is Application Security testing?
Application security testing (AST) is a set of processes designed to detect and address security gaps during the early phases of the software development lifecycle (SDLC). In other words, teams take steps in pre-production to identify and mitigate risks before applications are released into operational environments.
6 All-Too-Common Code Vulnerabilities
Code vulnerabilities are weaknesses in software that attackers can exploit, potentially compromising security.
Qu’est-ce que la sécurité des applications (AppSec) ?
La sécurité des applications fait référence à la pratique consistant à identifier, atténuer et protéger les applications contre les vulnérabilités et les menaces tout au long de leur cycle de vie, y compris la conception, le développement, le déploiement et la maintenance.
Qu’est-ce que le codage sécurisé ? Vue d’ensemble et bonnes pratiques
Le codage sécurisé s’attaque rapidement aux vulnérabilités telles que les XSS et les fuites de mémoire, ce qui renforce la résilience des logiciels et réduit les risques.
What is Application Detection and Response (ADR)?
Application detection and response (ADR) is an approach to application security that centers on identifying and mitigating threats at the application layer.
Source Code Security: Basics and Best Practices
Source code security refers to the practice of protecting and securing the source code of an application from vulnerabilities, threats, and unauthorized access.
What is SecDevOps? + How It Differs From DevSecOps
SecDevOps is essentially DevOps with an emphasis on moving security further left. DevOps involves both the development team and the operations team in one process to improve deployment performance and service customers faster.
Secrets Detection: A Fast-Track Guide
Secrets detection is the process of identifying and managing sensitive information like API keys, passwords, and tokens within codebases to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches.
Top 14 OSS Application Security Tools by Use Case
The top 14 open-source application security tools—including SCA, secrets scanning, and application security testing tools—to help you streamline the critical process of securing your apps from threats and vulnerabilities.
The Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF)
NIST’s Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF) is a structured approach that provides guidelines and best practices for integrating security throughout the software development life cycle (SDLC).
Qu’est-ce que l’ASPM ? [Application Security Posture Management]
La gestion de la posture de sécurité des applications implique d’évaluer en permanence les menaces, les risques et les vulnérabilités des applications tout au long du cycle de vie du développement logiciel (SDLC).
SAST vs. SCA: What's the Difference?
SAST (Static Application Security Testing) analyzes custom source code to identify potential security vulnerabilities, while SCA (Software Composition Analysis) focuses on assessing third-party and open source components for known vulnerabilities and license compliance.
Explication des tests de sécurité statique des applications (SAST)
Le test de sécurité statique des applications (SAST) est une méthode permettant d’identifier les vulnérabilités de sécurité dans le code source, le bytecode ou le code binaire d’une application avant que le logiciel ne soit déployé ou exécuté.
SAST vs. DAST: What’s the difference?
In this Academy article, we'll dig into SAST and DAST security testing methods, exploring how they work and their core aspects
Secure Code Scanning: Basics & Best Practices
In this article, we’ll explore the step-by-step process of code scanning, its benefits, approaches, and best practices.
Open-source security: Best practices and tools
Open-source security is the collection of tools and processes used to secure and manage the lifecycle of open-source software (OSS) and dependencies from development to production.
What is Security as Code (SaC)?
Security as Code (SaC) is a methodology that integrates security measures directly into the software development process. It involves codifying security policies and decisions, and automating security checks, tests, and gates within the DevOps pipeline.
What is Policy as Code?
Policy as code (PaC) is the use of code to define, automate, enforce, and manage the policies that govern the operation of cloud-native environments and their resources.
GitOps vs. DevOps
While DevOps delineates collaboration and automation practices that emphasize infrastructure provisioning and continuous monitoring, GitOps extends its concepts by employing Git as the single source of truth for both application and infrastructure settings.
