Its origins come from the need to create and deliver safer solutions by preventing and raising awareness among employees, reducing vulnerabilities, building, implementing, and creating tools that foster a safe development culture.
The verification for vulnerabilities is done by using static application security testing and dynamic application security testing (SAST/DAST) and/or frameworks for such goals, such as OWASP’s standards, aiming to mitigate them, thus making the application safer.
At last, the field of application security aims to apply all the aforementioned practices alongside the development teams to ensure a high level of protection in companies’ products.
