Introduction
Software security testing is a crucial component of the software development process as it ensures that software applications are secure and resilient against attacks. It involves testing software for vulnerabilities and weaknesses that attackers can exploit to gain unauthorized access, steal data, or cause harm to the system. Various types of security testing exist, including SAST, Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST), and penetration testing.
Security testing is not a one-time activity but rather a continuous process that needs to be integrated into the SDLC. It involves identifying security requirements, assessing potential risks, developing security controls, implementing security measures, and monitoring the system for any security incidents.
Software security is a critical aspect of modern software development, and it requires continuous attention and effort to ensure that software applications are secure...
