SAST vs. DAST: What’s the Best Method For Application Security Testing?Cigital
High profile security breaches are leading to heightened organizational security concerns. Firms around the world are now observing the consequences of security breaches that are becoming more widespread and more advanced. Due to this, firms are ready to identify vulnerabilities in their applications and mitigate the risks.
Two ways to go about this are static application security testing (SAST) and dynamic application security testing (DAST). These application security testing methodologies are used to find the security vulnerabilities that make your organization’s applications susceptible to attack.
The two methodologies approach applications very differently. They are most effective at different phases of the software development life cycle (SDLC) and find different types of vulnerabilities. For example, SAST detects critical vulnerabilities such as cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, and buffer overflow earlier in the SDLC. DAST, on the other hand, uses an outside-in penetration testing approach to identify security vulnerabilities while web applications are running.
Let us guide you through your application security testing journey with more key differences between SAST and DAST:

It defines key terms like vulnerability, threat, control, and vulnerability assessment. It explains the security principles of confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA). It then describes common sources of vulnerabilities and outlines various testing methodologies for information gathering, configuration management, identity and authentication, authorization, session management, input validation, error handling, cryptography, and client-side testing. It stresses the importance of customizing the testing plan for different application types and remembering best practices like following protocols, capturing accurate details of the tested systems, informing clients, and filtering false positives.
Is av dead or just missing in action - avar2016rajeshnikam
This document discusses whether antivirus (AV) software is dead or just missing in action. It begins by comparing traditional, signature-based AV to next-generation security products that use techniques like threat intelligence and machine learning. The document then debunks common security myths and discusses VirusTotal's role in evaluating next-gen AVs. Results from independent tests of various next-gen security products are presented. The document concludes that while no single product can solve all security issues, the approach to security needs to constantly evolve through layered defenses and beyond just next-gen hype.

Reducing Risk of Credential Compromise at NetflixSBWebinars
Building a secure system is like constructing a good pizza – each individual layer adds flavor that ultimately builds to the perfect bite. At Netflix we have hand-crafted ingredients that by themselves are scrumptious, but when placed together strategically on the crust (read: cloud), constructs a pizza so large that any pizza lover (read: attacker) would be challenged to finish.
Attendees will learn the secret to the sauce that is Netflix Infrastructure Security and how even defensive appsec tooling like Signal Sciences can be used in the mix to be better equipped to start baking pizza in their own kitchen, and leave satisfied.

Application Security at DevOps Speed and Portfolio ScaleJeff Williams

AppSec at DevOps Speed and Portfolio Scale - Jeff Williams
Watch this talk on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIvOth0fxmI
Software development is moving much faster than application security with new platforms, languages, frameworks, paradigms, and methodologies like Agile and Devops.
Unfortunately, software assurance hasn't kept up with the times. For the most part, our security techniques were built to work with the way software was built in 2002. Here are some of the technologies and practices that today's best software assurance techniques *can't*handle: JavaScript, Ajax, inversion of control, aspect-oriented programming, frameworks, libraries, SOAP, REST, web services, XML, JSON, raw sockets, HTML5, Agile, DevOps, WebSocket, Cloud, and more. All of these rest pretty much at the core of modern software development.
Although we're making progress in application security, the gains are much slower than the stunning advances in software development. After 10 years of getting further behind every day, software *assurance* is now largely incompatible with modern software *development*. It's not just security tools -- application security processes are largely incompatible as well. And the result is that security has very little influence on the software trajectory at all.
Unless the application security community figures out how to be a relevant part of software development, we will continue to lag behind and effect minimal change. In this talk, I will explore a radically different approach based on instrumenting an entire IT organization with passive sensors to collect realtime data that can be used to identify vulnerabilities, enhance security architecture, and (most importantly) enable application security to generate value. The goal is unprecedented real-time visibility into application security across an organization's entire application portfolio, allowing all the stakeholders in security to collaborate and finally become proactive.

Owasp A9 USING KNOWN VULNERABLE COMPONENTS IT 6873 presentationDerrick Hunter
This document discusses the risks of using known vulnerable components in applications. It identifies threat agents as anyone who can send untrusted data, and lists possible attack vectors such as injection and broken access control. Examples are given of past vulnerabilities in Apache CXF and Spring that allowed remote code execution. It emphasizes that open source applications often contain vulnerable components that remain in use long after issues are discovered. Suggested prevention methods include keeping components up to date, monitoring for security issues, and adding security wrappers.
Security Testing involves testing applications and systems to ensure security and proper functionality. It includes testing input validation, internal processing, output validation, and more. Common types of security testing are security auditing, vulnerability scanning, risk assessment, ethical hacking, and penetration testing. The OWASP Top 10 includes SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and broken authentication and session management as common vulnerabilities.
QualiTest’s security testing services verify that the system's information data is protected and that the intended functionality is maintained - http://bit.ly/1EKt0k1
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.
Security testing requires analyzing software from the perspective of an attacker to identify potential vulnerabilities. It involves understanding key information sources, adopting an attacker mindset when considering a wide range of unexpected inputs, and determining when enough testing has been done to verify security. Automation plays an important role by allowing for larger test coverage, regression testing, and improved efficiency compared to manual security testing.
Web applications are commonly used to transmit, accept and store data that is personal, company confidential and sensitive.
More enterprises are spending more time testing web applications, but many still do not integrate security testing into an application's overall test plan.
In this presentation, we explore ways to integrate security testing into an end-to-end test plan, exercise security features in unit tests, integration tests, acceptance tests.
This document provides an overview of the features available in FortiOS 5.2. It describes various system administration, routing, networking and security functions. These include dashboard and diagnostic tools, routing protocols, link load balancing, VPN, firewall, IPS, application control and other features. The document also outlines the different operation modes, interface types and management options supported in FortiOS 5.2.
Security testing is a process to determine if an information system protects data and functions as intended, and involves challenges like requiring specialized skills, ongoing effort, tools, budgets, and automation. The Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP) is an easy-to-use tool for finding vulnerabilities in web applications that can be used by developers, testers, and security specialists of all experience levels through both automated and manual scanning. ZAP provides passive and active scanning, reports, integration with CI/CD pipelines, and is open source.
8 Patterns For Continuous Code Security by Veracode CTO Chris WysopalThreat Stack
Deploying insecure web applications into production can be risky -- resulting in potential loss of customer data, corporate intellectual property and/or brand value. Yet many organizations still deploy public-facing applications without assessing them for common and easily-exploitable vulnerabilities such as SQL Injection and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).
This is because traditional approaches to application security are typically complex, manual and time-consuming – deterring agile teams from incorporating code analysis into their sprints.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. By incorporating key SecDevOps concepts into the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) – including centralized policies and tighter collaboration and visibility between security and DevOps teams – we can now embed continuous code-level security and assessment into our agile development processes. We’ve uncovered eight patterns that work together to transform cumbersome waterfall methodologies into efficient and secure agile development.

Continuous Application Security at Scale with IAST and RASP -- Transforming D...Jeff Williams
Abstract: SAST, DAST, and WAF have been around for almost 15 years — they’re almost impossible to use, can’t protect modern applications, and aren’t compatible with modern software development. Recent studies have demonstrated that these tools miss the majority of real vulnerabilities and attacks while generating staggering numbers of false positives. To compensate, these tools require huge teams of application security experts that can’t possibly keep up with the size of modern application portfolios. Fortunately, the next generation of application security technology uses dynamic software instrumentation to solve these challenges. Gartner calls these products “Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST)” and “Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP).” In this talk, you’ll learn how IAST and RASP have revolutionized vulnerability assessment and attack prevention in a massively scalable way.
Bio: A pioneer in application security, Jeff Williams is the founder and CTO of Contrast Security, a revolutionary application security product. Contrast is an application agent that enables software to both report vulnerabilities and prevent attacks. Jeff has over 25 years of security experience, speaks frequently on cutting-edge application security, and has helped secure code at hundreds of major enterprises. Jeff served as the Global Chairman of the OWASP Foundation for eight years, where he created many open-source standards, tools, libraries, and guidelines - including the OWASP Top Ten.
Get Ready for Web Application Security TestingAlan Kan
The document discusses web application security testing and provides guidance for testing professionals. It outlines some of the top attacks like SQL injection and cross-site scripting. It recommends getting educated on security topics, using tools like WebScarab and IBM Rational AppScan to test for vulnerabilities, and incorporating security testing into the development process.
This document proposes a framework for developing secure software for automated process control systems (APCS). It includes analyzing current secure software development models, creating a basic set of requirements for secure APCS software development based on the ISO/IEC 12207 standard lifecycle processes, and suggesting a procedure for selecting secure software development controls that allows independent assessment of compliance with the requirements. The goals are to minimize vulnerabilities in APCS software and provide a substantiated method for choosing controls.

The agenda includes discussing concepts, designing test cases, and practicing security testing techniques manually and using automated tools.
Static and dynamic code analysis are both critical for cybersecurity but analyze code in different ways. Static code analysis examines code without it being executed to find obscure vulnerabilities, while dynamic analysis tests executing code to discover runtime issues. The document recommends first using static analysis on individual code modules, then performing dynamic analysis once modules are combined into a full application. Conducting both types of analysis is important to fully isolate exploitable vulnerabilities.
The document provides information about the Certified Computer Security Analyst (CCSA) program and training. It discusses the trainer, Semi Yulianto's qualifications and experience working with various security training and consulting organizations. It also lists some of the key topics covered in the CCSA training program, including vulnerabilities assessment, penetration testing methodology, security tools, and investigating vulnerabilities.
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.

Penetration Testing Services play an important role in enhancing the security posture of any business and, hence, are in high demand. It is a proactive and authorized effort to evaluate the security of an IT infrastructure.
In the ever-evolving, fast-paced Agile development world, application security has not scaled well. Incorporating application security and testing into the current development process is difficult, leading to incomplete tooling or unorthodox stoppages due to the required manual security assessments. Development teams are working with a backlog of stories—stories that are typically focused on features and functionality instead of security. Traditionally, security was viewed as a prevention of progress, but there are ways to incorporate security activities without hindering development. There are many types of security activities you can bake into your current development lifecycles—tooling, assessments, stories, scrums, iterative reviews, repo and bug tracking integrations—every organization has a unique solution and there are positives and negatives to each of them. In this slide deck, we go through the various solutions to help build security into the development process.
A penetration test evaluates a system's security by simulating attacks. A web application penetration test focuses on a web application's security. The process involves actively analyzing the application for weaknesses, flaws, or vulnerabilities. Any issues found are reported to the owner along with impact assessments and mitigation proposals.
A vulnerability scanner is a software tool that discovers and inventories all networked systems, including servers, PCs, laptops, virtual machines, containers, firewalls, switches, and printers. It attempts to identify the operating system and software installed on each device it detects, as well as other characteristics such as open ports and user accounts.

Harnessing WebAssembly for Real-time Stateless Streaming PipelinesChristina Lin
Traditionally, dealing with real-time data pipelines has involved significant overhead, even for straightforward tasks like data transformation or masking. However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.

CHINA’S GEO-ECONOMIC OUTREACH IN CENTRAL ASIAN COUNTRIES AND FUTURE PROSPECTjpsjournal1
The rivalry between prominent international actors for dominance over Central Asia's hydrocarbon
reserves and the ancient silk trade route, along with China's diplomatic endeavours in the area, has been
referred to as the "New Great Game." This research centres on the power struggle, considering
geopolitical, geostrategic, and geoeconomic variables. Topics including trade, political hegemony, oil
politics, and conventional and nontraditional security are all explored and explained by the researcher.
Using Mackinder's Heartland, Spykman Rimland, and Hegemonic Stability theories, examines China's role
in Central Asia. This study adheres to the empirical epistemological method and has taken care of
objectivity. This study analyze primary and secondary research documents critically to elaborate role of
china’s geo economic outreach in central Asian countries and its future prospect. China is thriving in trade,
pipeline politics, and winning states, according to this study, thanks to important instruments like the
Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative. According to this study,
China is seeing significant success in commerce, pipeline politics, and gaining influence on other
governments. This success may be attributed to the effective utilisation of key tools such as the Shanghai
Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.
