In recent years, organizations across the globe shifted to cloud-native based application development. The drivers behind the shift to cloud-native architecture are obvious - fast development and deployment, increased time to market, ease of integration between complex systems, and the ability to harness the power of the cloud.
However, cloud-native applications also pose critical challenges when it comes to application security testing, especially when dealing with distributed microservices, APIs together with modern public cloud services.
As applications become distributed across many different platforms and components, so are their vulnerabilities. The traditional methods of pinpointing singular risks is not enough anymore. Instead, we need a modern, cloud-native approach to spotting and fixing vulnerabilities.
Talking Points:
- Key requirements for a modern, cloud-native application security testing (AST) solution
- Challenges of using existing tools like SAST, DAST, and IAST solutions to test cloud-native applications
- How to harness modern AST as part of the secure development life cycle to develop and deploy secure cloud-native applications
- Real life use cases
