There are a lot of challenges one might face when trying to identify the best SAST tool for your team. But how do you measure something that is meant to find unknowns? How do you know if the tool is appropriate for your needs? How do you compare different tools? It’s no wonder that we often get asked, “Does Snyk Code have coverage for the OWASP Top 10?” followed by “How do you suggest we evaluate and compare different SAST tools?”
If your development team isn’t yet using shift-left testing, you could be wasting time, money, and energy. Teams that practice shift-left testing are able to identify potential roadblocks early in the process, change scope when needed, and improve design to avoid buggy code. When a bug does occur, it can be identified and dealt with quickly so as not to impact the project later on. Shift-left testing proposes to help agile teams become more agile.
AWS Policies are a key foundation in good cloud security, but they are often overlooked. In this blog, we take a quick look on some AWS Policies, particularly for Identity and Access Management (IAM), that could become problematic if not properly managed. We'll discuss how they can be used against us to generate attacks like: Ransomware, data exfiltration, credential abuse, and more. Finally, we'll suggest some Open Source tools for cloud policy assessment and pentesting.
AST solutions provide insights to help organizations make more-informed decisions about their security investments. By now, everybody is familiar with the fundamental value of using application security testing (AST) solutions. You do security testing as part of a secure software development life cycle, you find security bugs, you fix them, and the software you release has a lower risk of being compromised, interrupted, or otherwise abused by attackers.
