What are some effective strategies for continuous security testing?

Continuous security testing involves regularly assessing your systems for vulnerabilities. Key strategies include automated testing, integrating security into CI/CD pipelines, and conducting regular penetration tests.

How can I integrate security testing into my CI/CD pipeline?

You can integrate security testing by using tools like SAST and DAST within your CI/CD process, ensuring that security checks are automated and run with every build.

What tools do you recommend for automated security testing?

Some popular tools for automated security testing include OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite, and Snyk. Each has its strengths depending on your specific needs.

How often should I perform security testing?

It's best to perform security testing continuously, ideally with every code change, and conduct comprehensive assessments at least quarterly.

Can you explain the difference between SAST and DAST?

SAST (Static Application Security Testing) analyzes source code for vulnerabilities without executing the program, while DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing) tests the running application for security issues.
