Overview of this book

Does finding security bugs, hacking software, and breaking into applications and databases sound exciting? Do you need to secure technologies and build resilient software? If yes, then the software security testing path is for you. This course teaches you the necessary security testing skills to conduct professional security assessments in various approaches. As you progress through the course, you will learn the core tenets of software security, build up your own personal security testing lab environment, identify and exploit vulnerabilities, break contemporary security systems, utilize world-famous tools and approaches, and confidently communicate findings to all stakeholders. Upon completion, you will have the foundational knowledge and skills to carry out multiple types of security assessments including penetration testing, security auditing, and code analysis in order to help build secure and resilient software throughout the SLDC. By the end of the course, you will be able to master industry standards and carry out professional assessments to secure technologies, as well as communicate risks to high-level executives, management, and technical staff. The course resources and labs are available at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Software-Security-Testing

Configuration and Management Testing
The intrinsic complexity of interconnected and heterogeneous server infrastructure, including hundreds of applications, makes configuration management and reviews a fundamental step in testing and deploying every single application. In this video, we will learn about configuration and management testing. It takes only a single vulnerability to undermine the entire infrastructure’s security, and even small and seemingly unimportant problems may evolve into severe risks for another application on the same server.
