Application Security Assessment

Common misconceptions about application security assessments

For enterprises developing software, an application security assessment is essential to producing software that is free of flaws and vulnerabilities. Yet many development teams make the mistake of waiting to test their software until after it is finished – in other words, confusing application security assessment with certification. Unless the security assessment is an integral part of the development process, development teams will spend far too much time remediating problems that could have been fixed earlier, faster and more cost-efficiently. Many enterprises also fail to perform an application security assessment on third-party software, mistakenly placing their trust in application protection processes they can’t verify.

To produce software that is more secure – and to test third-party components more effectively – software development teams need application security tools that can test flaws from inception all the way through production. The right application security assessment solution should enable developers to test their code at any point in the SDLC, and to test third-party code even when the source code is not available.
