Overview The application protection feature is developed based on the runtime application self-protection (RASP) technology. This feature can detect attacks and provide self-protection during application runtime. You do not need to modify code to use the application protection feature. You need to only install the RASP agent on the servers or containers on which your […]
Introduction to shift left In the fast-paced realm of software development, DevOps, and DevSecOps, the shift left testing methodology is gaining traction. In traditional waterfall development, testing happens late in the process right before deployment into production environments. Problems discovered during these latter stages require more time and resources to fix or redesign, which can result in costly […]
SDLC defined SDLC stands for software development lifecycle. It’s a ubiquitous framework for managing an entire software project from start to finish, ensuring consistency, efficiency, and quality. Typically, the SDLC has several key stages, including requirements gathering and analysis, system design, coding, testing, deployment, and maintenance and support. Ideally, this is a circular process that […]
Why is DAST important for application security? Although billions of dollars have been invested into AppSec tools, 85% of applications still contain known vulnerabilities, with most breaches occurring at the application layer, according to the GitHub software security guide. DAST tools are a type of security tool that can be used as part of an application […]
DevSecOps definition At its core, DevSecOps is a framework that integrates security practices into every stage of the software development lifecycle (SDLC), from planning and coding to deployment and monitoring. It emphasizes cross-team collaboration and shared responsibility for security, combining automated and manual testing to support secure, reliable software delivery. The Importance of DevSecOps DevSecOps is crucial […]
What is SAST? Static application security testing (SAST) is a method for analyzing source code, bytecode, or binaries to identify security vulnerabilities before software runs. Unlike dynamic testing, which examines applications during execution, SAST works early in the software development lifecycle (SDLC), typically during the coding or build stages. Integrating SAST into these early phases helps […]
Why is application security important? With the rise of cloud-based apps and services, applications are often targeted by attackers seeking to exploit weaknesses and gain access to sensitive data. App vulnerabilities can range from simple coding errors to more complex issues like unsecure settings or misconfigured environments. The serious consequences from a security breach—like the […]
Runtime application self-protection, or RASP, is a security technology that operates within software applications to monitor, detect, analyze, and protect against malicious activity automatically in real-time while the application is running. RASP is part of a comprehensive cloud application security strategy used to help defend against software attacks and resolve vulnerabilities. How RASP security works […]
