Application security and agile application delivery are paramount concerns for our organization. In today’s landscape, applications are increasingly targeted for reverse engineering and malicious code, posing significant risks to business and user data—thus, a top priority for our Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). Despite rigorous adherence to SAST, DAST, and OWASP guidelines, our external-facing applications continue to experience data compromises.
To mitigate these risks, it is crucial to fortify our application code and establish robust mechanisms for continuous monitoring of threats in production environments. However, integrating stringent security measures often complicates the testing process, restricting our ability to thoroughly assess application functionalities under protected conditions. This limitation underscores the necessity for a Continuous Testing platform capable of seamlessly testing protected applications. Such a platform ensures comprehensive evaluation without compromising security, thereby reassuring both our business stakeholders and users of flawless application experiences.
By adopting these measures, we aim to bolster our application security posture while maintaining the agility necessary for business operations. This proactive approach not only mitigates vulnerabilities but also aligns with industry best practices, enhancing overall trust and satisfaction among our stakeholders.
