Vulnerability assessment and penetration testingAbu Sadat Mohammed Yasin

This document discusses vulnerability assessment and penetration testing. It defines them as two types of vulnerability testing that search for known vulnerabilities and attempt to exploit vulnerabilities, respectively. Vulnerability assessment uses automated tools to detect known issues, while penetration testing employs hacking techniques to demonstrate how deeply vulnerabilities could be exploited like an actual attacker. Both are important security practices for identifying weaknesses and reducing risks, but require different skills and have different strengths, weaknesses, frequencies, and report outputs. Reasons for vulnerabilities include insecure coding, limited testing, and misconfigurations. The document outlines common vulnerability and attack types as well as how vulnerability assessment and penetration testing are typically conducted.

SAST vs. DAST: What’s the Best Method For Application Security Testing?Cigital

High profile security breaches are leading to heightened organizational security concerns. Firms around the world are now observing the consequences of security breaches that are becoming more widespread and more advanced. Due to this, firms are ready to identify vulnerabilities in their applications and mitigate the risks. Two ways to go about this are static application security testing (SAST) and dynamic application security testing (DAST). These application security testing methodologies are used to find the security vulnerabilities that make your organization’s applications susceptible to attack. The two methodologies approach applications very differently. They are most effective at different phases of the software development life cycle (SDLC) and find different types of vulnerabilities. For example, SAST detects critical vulnerabilities such as cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, and buffer overflow earlier in the SDLC. DAST, on the other hand, uses an outside-in penetration testing approach to identify security vulnerabilities while web applications are running. Let us guide you through your application security testing journey with more key differences between SAST and DAST:

AppSec in an Agile WorldDavid Lindner

In the ever-evolving, fast-paced Agile development world, application security has not scaled well. Incorporating application security and testing into the current development process is difficult, leading to incomplete tooling or unorthodox stoppages due to the required manual security assessments. Development teams are working with a backlog of stories—stories that are typically focused on features and functionality instead of security. Traditionally, security was viewed as a prevention of progress, but there are ways to incorporate security activities without hindering development. There are many types of security activities you can bake into your current development lifecycles—tooling, assessments, stories, scrums, iterative reviews, repo and bug tracking integrations—every organization has a unique solution and there are positives and negatives to each of them. In this slide deck, we go through the various solutions to help build security into the development process.

Application Security Testing for Software Engineers: An approach to build sof...Michael Hidalgo

This talk was presented at the 7th WCSQ World Congress for Software Quality in Lima, Perú on Wednesday, 22nd March 2017. Writing secure code certainly is not an easy endeavor. In the book titled “Writing Secure Code: Practical Strategies and Proven Techniques for Building Secure Applications in a Networked World (Developer Best Practices)” authors Howard and LeBlanc talk about the so called attacker’s advantage and the defenders dilemma and they put into perspective the fact that developers (identified as defenders) must build better quality software because attackers have the advantage. In this dilemma, software applications must be on a state of defense because attackers are out there taking advantage of any minor mistake, whereas the defender must be always vigilant, adding new features to the code, fixing issues, adding new engineers to the team. All this conditions are important when it comes to software security. Sadly, strong understanding of software security principles is not always a characteristic of most software engineers but we can’t blame them. Writing code is a complex task per se, the abstraction level required, along with choosing and/or writing the accurate algorithm and dealing with tight schedules seems to be always a common denominator and the outcome when talking to developers. This talk also includes techniques, tools and guidance that software engineers can use to perform Application Security testing during the development stage, enabling them to catch vulnerabilities at the time they are created.

AI Changes Everything – Talk at Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2...Alan Dix

Talk at the final event of Data Fusion Dynamics: A Collaborative UK-Saudi Initiative in Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence funded by the British Council UK-Saudi Challenge Fund 2024, Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2025 https://alandix.com/academic/talks/CMet2025-AI-Changes-Everything/ Is AI just another technology, or does it fundamentally change the way we live and think? Every technology has a direct impact with micro-ethical consequences, some good, some bad. However more profound are the ways in which some technologies reshape the very fabric of society with macro-ethical impacts. The invention of the stirrup revolutionised mounted combat, but as a side effect gave rise to the feudal system, which still shapes politics today. The internal combustion engine offers personal freedom and creates pollution, but has also transformed the nature of urban planning and international trade. When we look at AI the micro-ethical issues, such as bias, are most obvious, but the macro-ethical challenges may be greater. At a micro-ethical level AI has the potential to deepen social, ethnic and gender bias, issues I have warned about since the early 1990s! It is also being used increasingly on the battlefield. However, it also offers amazing opportunities in health and educations, as the recent Nobel prizes for the developers of AlphaFold illustrate. More radically, the need to encode ethics acts as a mirror to surface essential ethical problems and conflicts. At the macro-ethical level, by the early 2000s digital technology had already begun to undermine sovereignty (e.g. gambling), market economics (through network effects and emergent monopolies), and the very meaning of money. Modern AI is the child of big data, big computation and ultimately big business, intensifying the inherent tendency of digital technology to concentrate power. AI is already unravelling the fundamentals of the social, political and economic world around us, but this is a world that needs radical reimagining to overcome the global environmental and human challenges that confront us. Our challenge is whether to let the threads fall as they may, or to use them to weave a better future.
