The Role of WAAP Platforms in the CI/CD Pipeline

Most SaaS engineering teams use the CI/CD pipeline for software development. Since a CI/CD approach enables faster, more collaborative, and more efficient development processes, leading to higher-quality software. No wonder that this is popular. More frequent release cycles mean more opportunities for vulnerabilities to creep into the code. While DevOps teams are central to running a CI/CD pipeline, since application security is gaining importance, more engineering teams are adding DevSecOps teams.

How Does a WAF Work?

WAF ( Web Application Firewall) is the first line of defense between the app and the internet traffic. It monitors and filters internet traffic to stop bad traffic and malicious requests. The WAF is a crucial security solution that ensures the availability and integrity of web services. It functions as a reverse proxy by serving as an intermediary that safeguards the web app server against malicious clients.

API3:2019 Excessive Data Exposure: Understanding the Risks, Impacts, and How to Prevent It

Excessive data exposure occurs when APIs reveal more fields, data, and information than the client requires through the API response. Excessive data exposure flaws expose all object properties to API calls rather than what the user needs to act on without considering the object’s sensitivity level. This vulnerability exposes you to data leaks, man-in-the-middle attacks, and other cyber threats. That is why excessive data exposure in APIs is listed as #3 in the OWASP API Security Top 10 2019.

What's New in OWASP API Top 10 2023: The Latest Changes and Enhancements

As APIs continue to increase across industries, so too do the threats to their security. The OWASP API Top 10 list is an essential resource for businesses looking to secure their application programming interfaces. OWASP is best known for releasing the top 10 security risks and vulnerability lists for web apps, mobile apps, APIs, and so on, which are revised every four years to reflect the latest threats and risks affecting organizations globally.

The Ultimate API Penetration Testing Checklist

When was the last time your organization conducted an API security assessment? And did you have the framework and resources to do so? Now more than ever, companies need to know where their APIs are vulnerable to malicious actors. Check out the API Penetration Testing checklist, which outlines how to conduct an effective API security assessment for your organization.

Six Key Considerations When Choosing a Web Application Firewall

839 million attacks ranging from DDoS and bot to Zero-day and OWASP Top 10 attacks were recorded on the AppTrana WAF on just 1400 web and API applications. So, implementing WAF as a first layer of defence is a no-brainer. That said, dozens of established start-ups operate in this space, and choosing a WAF provider can be daunting. It is essential to consider various factors to ensure the selected WAF meets your organization’s unique needs and requirements.
