Application vulnerability testing is the process of identifying and mitigating security weaknesses within an application. These vulnerabilities can be exploited by attackers to compromise the integrity, confidentiality, or availability of an application. Testing for vulnerabilities is a critical component of a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy, ensuring that applications are secure before deployment and remain safe over time.
Static Application Security Testing (SAST) is a white-box testing technique where the source code, binary code, or bytecode of an application is analyzed without executing it.
Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) is a black-box testing method where the application is tested during runtime.
Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) combines elements of both SAST and DAST. IAST tools work in real-time, using instrumentation to monitor the application as it runs in a test environment.
Software Composition Analysis (SCA) is a specialized testing solution focused on identifying vulnerabilities in third-party libraries and open-source components used within an application
Penetration testing (Pen Testing) is a manual, ethical hacking approach to vulnerability testing. Security experts simulate real-world attacks to uncover vulnerabilities that may not be detected by automated tools
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools monitor endpoints for suspicious activity, detect potential threats, and respond in real-time to mitigate risks. EDR systems typically provide advanced threat detection capabilities, incident response workflows, and analytics for deep visibility into endpoint behavior.
Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) solutions have become essential for managing and securing mobile devices and endpoints across an organization.
Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) is solution designed to provide comprehensive protection against a wide range of endpoint threats, such as viruses, malware, spyware, and ransomware. EPP typically includes features like antivirus software, firewall protection, and device encryption
Patch and Vulnerability Management Regularly patching software and operating systems on endpoints is critical for preventing security vulnerabilities from being exploited. A patch management solution helps identify, test, and deploy patches across devices efficiently
Identity and Access Management (IAM) Ensuring that only authorized users have access to endpoint devices and the resources they contain is essential for endpoint security.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) technologies help ensure that sensitive information is not leaked or accessed by unauthorized users through endpoint devices. DLP solutions can be configured to monitor and block attempts to transmit confidential data
