While the specifics for security testing vary for applications, web applications, and APIs, a holistic and proactive applications security strategy is essential for all three types.

There are six core types of testing that every security professional should know about to secure their applications, regardless of what phase they are in in development or deployment.

Dynamic Application Security Testing is a type of security testing that analyzes a running application from the outside to identify vulnerabilities.

Static Application Security Testing involves analyzing an application's source code, bytecode, or binary code for security vulnerabilities without executing the program.

The six types of application security testing methods are not isolated practices; rather, they complement and reinforce each other to provide a comprehensive security assessment.

By leveraging the strengths of all of security methods, security professionals and their organizations can build a proactive AppSec security approach that complement one another, secure your applications against current threats but also adapts to future risks.
