Modern Dynamic Application Security Testing

Scott Gerlach at DevSecCon24 2020

Dynamic Application Security Testing has developed a bad rap. Application Security as a whole has struggled to keep up with the shifts in modern software delivery, and that is especially true for dynamic application scanning. However, the ability to run security tests against a running version of the application is one of the best ways to ensure you are finding and fixing the security bugs that attackers may be able to exploit. There is a new way to run security tests against your app that works with new development paradigms - REST API, HTTP and GraphQL backing, authentication requirements, and running in pipeline. Join StackHawk Co-Founder and Chief Security Officer Scott Gerlach to learn more about how application security can truly be developer-first and the latest in dynamic security testing.
