HAST—Hybrid Application Security Testing
Hybrid Analysis combines the best aspects of the two most common types of application security testing— SAST and DAST—to provide a deeper, more effective look under your application’s hood. SAST tools scour your source code for potential vulnerabilities—from the inside-out—while DAST tools search for exploits accessible by an attacker—from the outside-in.
Five application security testing pointers for software quality assurance professionals
Software quality assurance professionals have to worry about more than code quality—now they have to handle application security testing. This white paper outlines the importance of SQA professionals to the security testing process, their relationship to testing practices, and the five things they need to do before they get started with AppSec.
