In the world of DevOps, faster production is an important business objective. But without integrating security effectively into the build process, production-level code can carry defects that are attractive targets for hackers to exploit. With the nature of cyberattacks today, organizations that fail to establish effective DevSecOps initiatives can end up with time-intensive production delays, data breaches, and a tarnished reputation.
Application security testing tools have enabled DevOps teams to identify security flaws before they become a bigger problem. Tools like software composition analysis, as well as static, dynamic, and interactive application security testing all uncover vulnerabilities at various points within the software development life cycle, but it is important for testing to uncover security insights downstream in the IDE as well. On top of having a robust set of testing tools, application security teams need to determine which tools they need, where to run them, and when.
But running testing for multiple tools is only one …
