Security Testing (SAST, DAST, IAST)
Understand and apply various security testing methodologies like Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Dynamic AST (DAST), and Interactive AST (IAST).
Why Security Testing Matters
Protecting your backend applications is absolutely vital. Security testing helps you find and fix vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them.
It's a proactive approach, crucial for maintaining trust and preventing costly data breaches. It's a key part of building secure software from the ground up.
Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
SAST (Static Application Security Testing) analyzes your application's source code, bytecode, or binary code without actually running it.
Think of it as a super-powered linter for security flaws. It's often called "white-box" testing because it needs access to your internal code. SAST helps you "shift left" by finding issues early in development.
