In Our Customers’ Words: Why Mastering Application Security Basics Matters
In a recent conversation with a Rapid7 application security customer, I was
reminded how much of a security practitioner’s day can be consumed by
troubleshooting buggy tools and manually executing the same tasks over and over
again (needlessly, may I add). As much as we’d like to think that security
professionals’ time is being efficiently utilized, oftentimes inadequate tools,
a lack of automation, and organizational silos impede SecOps-driven

How DevOps Can Use Quality Gates for Security Checks
Your team has been working at all hours to put the final touches on code for a
new big feature release. All the specs are in, the feature works as expected,
and the code is pushed to production. A few hours later, the daily security scan
runs and the alerts start piling in. What went wrong? And what do you do now?
Typically when this happens, it means rolling back the entire deployment,
retroactively fixing the bugs and vulnerabilities in the code, and a week or two
later, re-deploying. If you’

3 Ways to Accelerate Web App Security Testing
It used to be that web application security testing
[https://www.rapid7.com/solutions/application-security/] was the job of just the
security team. Today, it is becoming a much more integrative function,
especially for organizations who have adopted DevOps. Development cycles have
become shorter and features are released more frequently for companies to stay
competitive. Trouble is, with shorter development cycles, security needs a way
to keep up. After all, there’s little value in running fast

But before you start scanning your own application with the InsightAppSec free
trial [https://www.rapid7.com/try/insightappsec], you’ll need to validate your

3 Questions to Ask When Prioritizing Web Application Vulnerabilities
Dynamic application security testing (DAST) often results in a constantly
evolving list of security vulnerabilities. When scanning a web application
[https://www.rapid7.com/fundamentals/web-application-security/] in production or
in an active testing environment, issues can crop up as quickly as changes
happen within the app. And when exposed to the internet itself, there are many
more ways in which security vulnerabilities

4 Differences Between Network Security & Application Security
Tomato, tomato, potato, potato, network security and web application security

for quite some time and is something most security practitioners today know
well. Web application security, however, is still
