While web applications offer convenience to businesses and customers alike, their ubiquity makes them a popular target for cybercriminals. As a result, web application security testing, or scanning and testing web applications for risk, is essential. Applications may be complex, but securing and testing them shouldn't be.
Join Garrett Gross, Rapid7’s Application Security expert, as he explains the application security landscape, including the relationship of DAST/SAST, what the "I" in IAST is, and how RASP fits into the equation.
Some of the topics Garrett will cover include:
- What is a web application and why do we need to secure it?
- Modern approaches to application security testing and protection
- Solving for common use cases
- What the future of application security looks like
