The security assessment is one of many different types of software testing. It enables validating security across all layers of the software and detecting system loopholes.
Software security tests are indispensable whenever significant changes are made to systems or before releasing new applications into a live production environment. It is also crucial to integrate security testing into the product development lifecycle and retest the product periodically.
These are the different types of Security Testing –
1) Vulnerability scanning
2) Security scanning
3) Penetration testing
4) Risk assessment
5) Security auditing
6) Ethical hacking
