• Application security testing (AST) is the process
  of identifying security vulnerabilities in
  software applications to make them strong against
  cyber threats. It is a proven way that help
  applications be more resilient against
  cyberattacks.
• Application Security Testing is done for
• Web applications
• Mobile applications
• Cloud applications
• Earlier, security testing was mostly manual, but
  with the advancement of technology, certain tools
  have emerged that have made the testing process
  quick. The best form of application security
  testing is penetration testing, which uses both
  manual skills and automated scanning tools.

What are Application Security Testing
Tools? Application security testing tools are
specialized tools designed to identify security
flaws and vulnerabilities in software
applications. These tools ensure the data and
resources present in the applications are
protected from attackers. Whether its web
applications, mobile applications, or cloud
applications, security testing tools main goal
is to find conceivable flaws that could lead to
unauthorized access, data breaches, and
reputational damage.

AST tools are important assets in ensuring the
working and reliability of software applications
Integrating these application security testing
tools into the development process will save you
time and effort by identifying vulnerabilities
early. However, before investing in AST tools,
you should have some knowledge of how they
function, and which one is right for you. After
you start using AST tools, they will produce a
lot of results, and someone should be there to
manage and act on them. Additionally, the one
big con of AST tools is that they work under a
specified script. This means, they can detect
known vulnerabilities easily and quickly but
dont work well will changing threats. Also, they
may generate false positives. So, it is advised
to combine AST tools with manual penetration
testing to get hidden vulnerabilities and
comprehensive results.
