Security

Security in application development encompasses a set of practices, technologies, and policies designed to protect applications from unauthorized access, vulnerabilities, and potential cyber threats. Effective security ensures that data and systems remain secure, reliable, and compliant with industry standards.

Static Application Security Testing (SAST)

Analyzes source code or binaries for vulnerabilities without executing the code. Early detection helps fix vulnerabilities before deployment. Integrates well with CI/CD pipelines.

Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)

Tests the application while it’s running to find runtime vulnerabilities. Identifies issues like SQL injection and cross-site scripting. Emulates real-world attacks on the application.

Software Composition Analysis (SCA)

Scans third-party dependencies and libraries for known vulnerabilities. Helps manage and update outdated libraries. Ensures open-source component compliance and safety.

Penetration Testing (Pen Testing)

Simulates attacks to identify and assess vulnerabilities from an attacker’s perspective. Provides insights into real-world security risks. Follows established methodologies like OWASP and NIST.
