Explore the fundamentals of static application security testing (SAST), its tools and techniques for scanning code to find vulnerabilities, and how to implement it early in development.
Explore SAST, static application security testing, analyzing source code to find vulnerabilities early, prevent defects in production, and enforce secure coding while educating developers through a white-box, code-based process.
Embed SAST across the SDLC from the IDE to production, using incremental scans at commit and comprehensive testing at build and deployment with dynamic application security testing.
Explore popular static application security testing tools and compare their deployments—on premises, cloud, or software as a service type model—while integrating SAS scanning into the SDLC to catch issues early.
Set up and configure a SAST tool as a self-service platform for developers, guiding deployment, licensing, administration, customization, and integration with your SDLC and security policies.
Develop a plan to prioritize and onboard applications into the SAST platform, tying scans to the early SDLC and piloting a few apps to refine the process.
Scan, review, and customize the sas program to analyze results, identify real vulnerabilities and false positives, and tune the living, maintained environment with ongoing support for developers throughout the sdlc.
Explore what to expect from SAST by using the OWASP top ten as a guide to common web application vulnerabilities, including injection, cryptographic failures, and vulnerable components.
Explore the benefits of sas tools, including early vulnerability detection of cross-site scripting, sql injection, command injection, hardcoded secrets, and cookie settings that are off, with scalable ci cd integration.
Explain how static application security testing analyzes static source code to identify defects early and prevent them from reaching production. Highlight deployment options on workstations, servers, and in the cloud.
The goal of this course is to provide a quick overview of Static Application Security Testing (SAST).
It should be a great starting point if you are curious about SAST or want to be better prepared to explain how your organization might benefit from implementing a SAST program. Think of it as what you would need to pitch the idea or give an “elevator speech”.
By the time we finish this course, you should be comfortable answering:
What is SAST?
How does it work?
Why it is important tool for increasing the level of secure code?
How can SAST be implemented?
What should you expect when using SAST?
Gain valuable insights on:
How SAST works
Steps to help ensure a successful implementation
What to expect from SAST
Areas of the OWASP Top Ten addressed by SAST
Benefits to expect from SAST
Areas of caution and things to be aware of
Get started today! Find out how you can start to bring automated security testing into your organization and begin finding code issues early. The earlier you find a security vulnerability, the easier and cheaper it is to fix it. Find issues early and don't let them become production vulnerabilities later on!
Let POC help you get the skills and knowledge needed to advance your security skills and help protect your organization!
