Code vulnerabilities are weaknesses in software that attackers can exploit, potentially compromising security.
Application security refers to the practice of identifying, mitigating, and protecting applications from vulnerabilities and threats throughout their lifecycle, including design, development, deployment, and maintenance.
Strengthen applications with secure coding to fix injection flaws, enforce access controls, and follow OWASP best practices.
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 refers to the practice of protecting and securing the source code of an application from vulnerabilities, threats, and unauthorized access.
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 is the process of identifying and managing sensitive information like API keys, passwords, and tokens within codebases to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches.
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.
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).
Application security posture management entails continuously assessing applications for threats, risks, and vulnerabilities throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
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.
Static Application Security Testing (SAST) is a method of identifying security vulnerabilities in an application's source code, bytecode, or binary code before the software is deployed or executed.
In this Academy article, we'll dig into SAST and DAST security testing methods, exploring how they work and their core aspects
In this article, we’ll explore the step-by-step process of code scanning, its benefits, approaches, and best practices.
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.
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.
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.
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.
