Web Applications continue to be one of the primary attack vectors that lead to breaches within organizations all over the world. As more and more organizations adopt DevOps and CI/CD workflows, there has been an added push to shift security testing to earlier stages in the software development lifecycle. Finding flaws earlier can save precious time as release cycles become faster, however, what happens once an application is running? With the ever-changing threat landscape that organizations function in today, even an application initially developed as securely as possible can become vulnerable over time as attackers uncover new ways to exploit weaknesses. Organizations that fail to test their running web applications risk missing exploitable vulnerabilities that could lead to a breach.
In this webinar, product leaders from CA Veracode will discuss the importance of performing Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) on web applications during the testing and QA phases to catch exploitable vulnerabilities before release that static testing alone cannot find. They will also discuss how establishing a recurring schedule of DAST scans on your running web applications can help your organization discover new vulnerabilities and help you reduce your risk of a breach.
