Compliance challenges for web applications

Data privacy and cyber security have grown to become two of the biggest challenges and concerns for web and mobile application developers. Failing to protect a web application from significant data breaches and other vulnerabilities can mean the difference between a living business and a failing one. Since security and data privacy is a 24/7 risk, web application developers must build security early into the functionality of their apps, leverage Static Application Security Testing (SAST) and Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) tools, and maintain their code continuously.

SAST is a method for inspecting and analyzing application source code, byte code, and binaries for coding and design conditions to determine security vulnerabilities. Unlike DAST, SAST is also known as a white box testing approach that scans the source code of the application in a non-running state.
