Overview of building an AppSec program

An overview of building an AppSec program for cloud-native applications requires an understanding of the unique challenges presented by this environment. Cloud-native applications are built using microservices architecture and containers, which means they are highly distributed and dynamic. This presents a new set of security concerns that must be addressed to ensure that these applications are secure.

To build an effective AppSec program for cloud-native applications, it is important to start with a thorough risk assessment. This should include an analysis of the various components of the application, including the underlying infrastructure, the application code, and the network architecture. It is also important to consider the various security threats that may be present in a cloud-native environment, such as container vulnerabilities, API vulnerabilities, and data breaches.

Once the risks have been identified, the next step is to develop...
