Mastering the Art of Application Security Testing: A guide for development managers, Dev(Sec)Ops managers, application security managers and CISO’s

Foreword by Chris Wysopal aka Weld Pond!Application security testing has become essential for organizations developing software in today's threat landscape. While many of the foundational technologies are a decade old or more, organizations are only now reaching maturity in their application security testing practices, combining multiple methodologies and solutions on their journey toward secure software development. The recent integration of AI-powered testing and remediation tools represents the latest evolution in this field, fundamentally changing how we discover and fix security vulnerabilities.This book assumes you already understand why application security testing matters. Instead, we focus on the practical "how" and "when," providing you with: Comprehensive coverage of testing technologies, from SAST (Static Application Security Testing) and DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing) to Container Security and Infrastructure as Code scanningClear differentiation between methodologies and when to use eachImplementation guidance tailored to your specific environmentAutomation strategies for integrating security into CI/CD pipelinesVendor selection criteria to help you choose the right toolsAI-powered testing and remediation – how artificial intelligence is transforming vulnerability detection and fixingApplication Security Posture Management (ASPM) – the next evolution beyond individual testing toolsSecurity standards and compliance requirementsThis book is for you if you:Are new to application security testing and need a comprehensive foundationWant to understand how different security testing technologies work togetherAre defining requirements for an application security testing initiativeNeed to implement or mature a security testing program within your organizationSeek practical, real-world guidance beyond academic theoryWant to understand how AI is transforming application security testingAre responsible for reporting application security effectiveness to leadership Read more
