Overview of this book

DevSecOps is built on the idea that everyone is responsible for security, with the goal of safely distributing security decisions at speed and scale to those who hold the highest level of context. This practice of integrating security into every stage of the development process helps improve both the security and overall quality of the software. This book will help you get to grips with DevSecOps and show you how to implement it, starting with a brief introduction to DevOps, DevSecOps, and their underlying principles. After understanding the principles, you'll dig deeper into different topics concerning application security and secure coding before learning about the secure development lifecycle and how to perform threat modeling properly. You’ll also explore a range of tools available for these tasks, as well as best practices for developing secure code and embedding security and policy into your application. Finally, you'll look at automation and infrastructure security with a focus on continuous security testing, infrastructure as code (IaC), protecting DevOps tools, and learning about the software supply chain. By the end of this book, you’ll know how to apply application security, safe coding, and DevSecOps practices in your development pipeline to create robust security protocols.

Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)

Dynamic application security testing (DAST) is a type of security testing that assesses the security of web applications by analyzing them while they are running. This approach evaluates the application from the outside in, simulating real-world attacks and identifying vulnerabilities that can be exploited by hackers.

DAST works by sending malicious input to an application and observing how the application responds. This can include sending invalid data to input fields, attempting to bypass authentication mechanisms, and trying to access sensitive data without proper authorization. The tool then analyzes the responses to identify any vulnerabilities or weaknesses in the application’s security.

DAST can be used to test a wide range of web applications, including those that are built using programming languages such as Java, .NET, and PHP. The tool can also be used to test applications hosted in various environments, including...
