Episode 81

The next installment of our 𝘜𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘈𝘱𝘱𝘚𝘦𝘤 mini-series. Mark and Rohan explore testing methodologies for securing applications in deployment. This episode we cover Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), penetration testing, red teaming, and bug bounty programs; explaining how each function uncovers vulnerabilities at different levels. Our hosts highlight the evolution of testing from automated scanners to human-augmented techniques and ethical hacking, and introduce Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) as a bridge between black-box and white-box testing, emphasizing its value in runtime analysis. The importance of correlating findings across multiple tools to streamline remediation takes center stage, showcasing how integrated approaches reduce time-to-remediate and enhance security strategies.
