What is application security and how does it work?

Application security, sometimes shortened to AppSec, refers to the security measures used to protect software from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction. The practice of AppSec implements safeguards and controls to protect software from cyberthreats, and to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the application and its data.

What is Open Source Software (OSS)?

Open source software (OSS) refers to software that features freely available source code, which users may view, modify, adopt, and share for both commercial and noncommercial purposes.

What is dynamic application security testing (DAST)?

Dynamic application security testing (DAST) is a method of testing the security of an application while it’s running. DAST tools test web applications during their operating states to find security vulnerabilities using simulated attacks, such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and insecure server configuration. This application security (AppSec) testing type mimics a malicious hacker to find security issues in the running application, so developers can fix them before the application is deployed to the public.

Application security testing

Application security testing (AST) is the process of making applications more resilient to security threats by evaluating the application to identify potential vulnerabilities that can be exploited. Although organizations have invested billions of dollars into application security, web applications are still vulnerable to a range of cyberattacks. To keep software safe, it’s important to use application security testing tools.
