How to use AI/GenAI to accelerate security testing (planning, triage, regressions, fuzzing and validation) without degrading evidence, confidentiality or human control
Practical example of applying security testing practices to an application classified as L3, with full pipeline integration and findings management.
Instrument for binary and auditable verification of the practical adoption of continuous security validation practices.
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).
Prescriptive rules to ensure that security test results are verifiable, reproducible and auditable, with protection of critical assets and separation between automated signal and human decision.
