Enterprise Web Application Security Best Practices: How to Build a Successful AppSec Program
An effective web application security program needs to cover every corner of your complex and fast-changing application environment and deliver reliable intelligence on your current security posture. At the same time, it has to mesh seamlessly with your development workflows so your organization can maintain security without hampering innovation. And it all needs to work today, tomorrow, and every day in the future – for all your applications.
Until recently, doing all this across a variety of web technologies and application architectures has been extremely challenging technically. Organizations have also struggled to deploy workable solutions in a reasonable time and see measurable improvements to their real-life security posture – but as the security industry matures, things are changing at long last.
This white paper presents the four pillars of a best-practice web application security program and outlines Invicti’s tried-and-tested approach to holistic AppSec, including clear and practical steps to:
- Keep track of your true web attack surface
- Integrate security testing into web application development
- Detect and permanently remediate web security defects
- Improve your application security posture in the long run – starting today
Keeping a modern web applicationenvironment secure in the face of escalating threats and under relentless pressure to innovate needs a systematic and future-proof approach.
