Continuous Security Validation
Strategies and practices for continuously validating application security through automated, manual and offensive testing.
Strategies and practices for continuously validating application security through automated, manual and offensive testing.
The single index of all security verification in SbD-ToE — activity × type × oracle × chapter × risk level — distinguishing testing (behavioural oracle) from analysis/scanning (lookup/policy oracle).
Organisational policy that defines the requirements, execution criteria, findings management and responsibilities for dynamic security testing (DAST) and fuzzing, proportional to the application's risk level.
Dynamic testing at runtime to detect vulnerabilities by simulating external interactions.
Technical and operational indicators for the assessment of the effectiveness of the security testing programme, with thresholds by risk level and mapping to the cross-cutting SbD-ToE governance dimensions.
Complete model for validating the requirements of the SbD-ToE catalogue - principles, methods by requirement type, lifecycle moments and a detailed plan by domain with operational tag, recommended method and expected evidence.
Strategies and practices for continuously validating application security through automated, manual and offensive testing
Canonical catalogue of requirements for the security testing programme (TST-001 to TST-010), with applicability by risk level and acceptance criteria for testing strategy, SAST, DAST, findings management, regression, pentesting and auditable evidence.
Organisational policy that defines the requirements for the security testing strategy throughout the application lifecycle, including SAST, DAST, SCA, IAST, fuzzing and manual testing, with mandatory gates, finding triage SLAs and centralised management of results, proportional to the criticality level (L1, L2, L3).
