Compliance Challenges for Web Applications
Learn how developers combat data privacy and cybersecurity challenges.
Let’s look at some compliance challenges.
Data security and cybersecurity
Data privacy and cybersecurity have grown to become two of the biggest challenges and concerns for web and mobile application developers. Failing to protect a web application from significant data breaches and other vulnerabilities can mean the difference between a living business and a failing one. Since security and data privacy are 24/7 risks, web application developers must build security early into the functionality of their apps, leverage static application security testing (SAST) and dynamic application security testing (DAST) tools, and continuously maintain their code.
SAST is a method for inspecting and analyzing application source code, byte code, and binaries for coding and design conditions to determine security vulnerabilities. DAST is a method that is also known as opaque box testing. It’s designed to scan the source code of a running and compiled application. It tests the ...
