This document discusses the importance of multi-layered application security testing and summarizes several application security testing techniques. It introduces static application security testing (SAST), interactive application security testing (IAST), software composition analysis (SCA), and dynamic application security testing (DAST). For each technique, it provides a brief description and highlights of their advantages and disadvantages. It emphasizes that using multiple techniques together can provide more comprehensive security testing than any single technique alone.

Over the past 6 months, we have discovered many similarities across APIs from companies from very different industries. "This is an eye opener" is the most recurring comment from our prospects. We thought it would be worth sharing our findings in this webinar.
Through a mix of slides and demos, we will describe the top 5 issues our security audit reports, what they are and why they matter, including:
- Potentials attacks linked to each issue
- How they can be remediated
- Example request/response and reports
The Dev, Sec and Ops of API Security - API World42Crunch
The enterprise use of APIs is growing exponentially. Companies face a difficult choice. They must shift towards a software-based, digital approach to service and product delivery – or get left behind. Agile development, business pressure and the complexity of API security have made security teams life very complicated. And to make matters more complicated, the adoption of microservices architectures has multiplied the number of API endpoints that you have to protect.
Downside: The more APIs, the higher the security risk!
API security flaws are injected at many different levels of the API lifecycle: in requirements, development, deployment and monitoring. It is proven that detecting and fixing vulnerabilities during production or post-release time is up to 30 times more difficult than earlier in the API lifecycle. Security should be easy to considered at requirements phase, applied during development by attaching pre-defined policies to APIs and ensuring that security tests are performed as part of the continuous delivery of the APIs.
Upside: We’ll prep you with all the knowledge and tools you need to implement an automated, end-to-end API Security process that will get your dev, sec and ops teams speaking the same language.
In this presentation you will learn:
Security risks at each stage of the API lifecycle, and how to mitigate them.
How to implement an end-to-end automated API security model that development, security and operations teams will love.
How to think positive! Why a positive security model works.
Security Testing is deemed successful when the below attributes of an application are intact
- Authentication
- Authorization
- Availability
- Confidentiality
- Integrity
- Non-Repudiation
Testing must start early to minimize defects and cost of quality. Security testing must start right from the Requirements Gathering phase to make sure that the quality of end-product is high.
This is to ensure that any intentional/unintentional unforeseen action does not halt or delay the system.
Injecting Security into vulnerable web apps at RuntimeAjin Abraham
Web Application Security is not hard, but it’s easy to get it wrong as writing secure code is not easy as preaching. So to overcome incidents happening from such unforeseen events, organisations tend to rely on Web Application Firewalls or WAFs. Web Application Firewalls have been in the industry for a long time. Every one of them either work outside or around the web applications and act by intercepting the HTTP request coming to the web server, then take a decision to allow or block the request based on traditional signature checks. They are never aware of what is happening inside the application like how the user input is getting interpreted, Is the application/server under heavy load?, Is the attacker exfiltrating data by exploiting an SQLi that WAF couldn’t detect? etc. The strength of traditional WAF depends on manual or predefined rules/signature. As a result, they have the limitation that they will get bypassed if a payload is not present in their signature list. In the occurrence of a zero day, a WAF in most cases won’t be able to prevent an attack as they don’t know the signature of the exploit yet.
In this talk I will share my research outcomes on implementing a runtime application patching algorithm on an insecurely coded application to make it secure against code injection vulnerabilities and other logical issues related to web applications. I will introduce the next generation web application defending technology dubbed as Runtime Application Self Protection (RASP) that works by understanding your application to defend against web attacks by working inside the web application. RASP relies on Runtime Patching to inject security into web apps implicitly without introducing additional code changes. The root cause of all the code injection vulnerabilities is that the language interpreter cannot distinguish between data and code. The proposed solution will detect code context breakout to effectively detect and prevent code injections with the help of runtime hooking and patching at framework api or language api level. The research focuses mainly on detecting and preventing vulnerabilities like SQL Injection, Cross Site Scripting, Remote Command Execution, HTTP Verb Tampering, Header Injection, File Upload Bypass, Path Traversal etc and other application security challenges like Session Hijacking, Credential Stuffing and Layer 7 DDoS etc. This research is carried out by implementing a RASP module to a vulnerable web application written in python using tornado framework with sqlite backend.
In this presentation, we explain why OAuth and SSL are not enough when it comes to API Security, and that you should also think about addressing other aspects such as confidentiality, integrity, audit or compliance requirements. We expose the tactics to address each of those aspects, and a set of recommendations to apply immediately to your APIs development.

In recent years, large reputable companies such as Facebook, Google and Equifax have suffered major data breaches that combined exposed the personal information of hundreds of millions of people worldwide. The common vector linking these breaches – APIs. The scale and magnitude of these breaches are the reason API security has been launched into the forefront of enterprise security concerns – now forcing us to rethink the way we approach API security as a whole.
OWASP Top 10 project has for a long time been the standard list of top vulnerabilities to look for and mitigate in the world of web applications.
APIs represent a significantly different set of threats, attack vectors, and security best practices. This caused the OWASP community to launch OWASP API Security project earlier this year.

Static Analysis Security Testing for Dummies... and YouKevin Fealey
Most enterprise application security teams have at least one Static Analysis Security Testing (SAST) tool in their tool-belt; but for many, the tool never leaves the belt. SAST tools have gotten a reputation for being slow, error-prone, and difficult to use; and out of the box, many of them are – but with a little more knowledge behind how these tools are designed, a SAST tool can be a valuable part of any security program.
In this talk, we’ll help you understand the strengths and weaknesses of SAST tools by illustrating how they trace your code for vulnerabilities. You’ll see out-of-the-box rules for commercial and open-source SAST tools, and learn how to write custom rules for the widely-used open source SAST tool, PMD. We’ll explain the value of customizing tools for your organization; and you’ll learn how to integrate SAST technologies into your existing build and deployment pipelines. Lastly, we’ll describe many of the common challenges organizations face when deploying a new security tool to security or development teams, as well as some helpful hints to resolve these issues
What Good is this Tool? A Guide to Choosing the Right Application Security Te...Kevin Fealey
Abstract:
Choosing the right Application Security Testing (AST) tool can be challenging for any security program, and after rolling it out, discovering the real security value it brings can be downright discouraging. No single tool can solve all of all of your security problems, but unfortunately, that is exactly how many of them are marketed. This is compounded by sales teams who convince executive leadership that security programs should be built around their tools, rather than fitting each tool within a well-planned security program. The primary takeaways from this talk are:
• An understanding the real value of each type of AST tool (SAST, DAST, IAST);
• How to leverage your tools for better security visibility and process efficiency;
• Steps to find the right tool for your security program;
• Keys to finding the best stage of the SDLC to implement each tool type within your security program;
• How to integrate new tools with your existing DevOps or Agile environments and processes
Additional Takeaways:
• Examine the strengths and limitations of SAST, DAST, and IAST tools
• Learn how to choose the right tools for your security program
• Discover how to seamlessly integrate your tools into existing DevOps and Agile environments and processes
• Provide security visibility to developers, managers, and executives by enhancing your existing technology
• Learn to use your tools to improve the efficiency of security tasks that are currently manual

Given the wide range of Source Code Analysis Tools, security professionals, auditors and developers alike are faced with the same developers alike are faced with the question: What is the best way to assess a Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tool for deployment?
Choosing the right tool requires different considerations during each stage of the SAST tool evaluation process.
Quality of software code for a given product shipped effectively translates not only to its functional quality but as well to its non functional aspects say security. Many of the issues in code can be addressed much before they reach SCM.

In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks

11. AppSec Technique Advantages Disadvantages
SAST
• Can be used after 1st line of code is written – max
Shift Left
• Makes the vulnerability fixing easy by showing the
problem in the source code
• Produces fast results even for large applications
• Can be easily integrated into the CI process
• Cannot see all flows, e.g. because of user data
dependencies
• Requires continuous development for new
language/framework support
• May require fine tuning to accommodate for custom
sanitisers and services
DAST
• Provides visual confirmation for vulnerabilities
• Doesn’t require access to source code to produce
results
• Requires a functional application
• Can only detect reflected vulnerabilities
• Takes a lot of time to generate and execute all inputs
• Is difficult to integration into the CI process
• Shows there is a problem, doesn’t tell where it is in
the code
IAST
• Provides immediate feedback when suspected
vulnerabilities are found
• Doesn’t require access to source code to produce
results
• Can be integrated into the CI process
• Requires a functional application
• Requires existing (preferably automated and
comprehensive) functional testing suite
• Highly dependent on the application technology
