Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST)
Declan O'Riordan
Testing IT
Application Security is a wide and deep subject, yet it’s possible for any software tester to learn all they need to know about security testing. Unfortunately, it takes a lot of time and effort to master. The shortage of skills and limitations of tools creates bottlenecks that restrict delivery to production. I’ll trace a journey through vulnerability testing and explain why and how my thinking has changed over time.
You’ll learn how a new generation of real-time sensors are offering answers that will transform security testing this decade. This application security testing tutorial follows on from Declan’s first EuroSTAR Huddle webinar on the topic of application security and will help you to discover new opportunities for testers interested in security to shift left, down, right and up, without the hassle of learning about non-idempotent systems and all that tricky stuff!
