Automating Security Workflows with DAST Essentials

In today's digital landscape, developers face mounting pressure to deliver secure applications within tight deadlines. But with faster release cycles, it becomes challenging to prioritize security. Security testing needs to work and scale within your DevOps speed and release frequency. Web applications are highly targeted assets, accounting for 40% of breaches within organizations, according to the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report.

Redefining Security Investments: SAST Scans and DFPM

In today's ever-evolving digital landscape, teams must have a strong understanding of the security measures that will work best for their environment and how to implement them. During this event, we explore the benefits of utilizing SAST scans and DFPM (Data Flow Posture Management) tools to create robust security guardrails for your organization. Hear from Anirban Banerjee, CEO and Co-founder of Riscosity, and Milan Williams, Sr. Product Manager at Semgrep, as they dive into how teams can approach security investments starting with SAST scans and data flow security.

Revolutionizing Security Testing: Advancements in Automated DAST on Real Devices

With organizations continuing to build and enhance their mobile applications and developers embracing new ways of building applications to improve the speed to market and customer experiences, billions of dollars are invested in Appsec tools. However, 85% of these applications still contain known vulnerabilities, and most breaches occur at the application layer. Automated DAST helps in combating such vulnerabilities.

Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST): An Overview

Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) is an advanced testing method that tests the production environment and analyzes application security at runtime. This type of black box testing identifies real-world vulnerabilities externally without much need for insights into the product provenance of any single component. By simulating real-world attacks in your system, DAST identifies critical security gaps that other vulnerability assessments and static methods might miss.

Understanding Out-of-Bounds Memory Access Vulnerabilities and Detecting Them with Fuzz Testing

Out-of-bounds memory access, also known as buffer overflow, occurs when a program tries to read from or write to a memory location outside the bounds of the memory buffer that has been allocated for it. This type of vulnerability is particularly dangerous because it can lead to various issues, including crashes, data corruption, sensitive data leaks, and even the execution of malicious code.

Detecting Out-of-Bounds Memory Access, Which Caused The Crowdstike's Incident

The Crowdstrike incident is a recent example of out-of-bounds memory access in C/C++ causing a crash. CrowdStrike reported that problematic content in Channel File 291 triggered an out-of-bounds memory read, leading to a Windows operating system crash (BSOD). Another critical example with the exact root cause is the Heartbleed vulnerability, which affected the OpenSSL library. Remarkably, fuzz testing could identify this issue in less than 10 seconds.
