Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

Statistics routinely collected and assessed as part of network and endpoint monitoring include events per second, alerts and false positives, with success often benchmarked by the time to detect, respond and recover. Incorporating scenario-based testing into the threat detection process allows organisations to obtain additional insight into the true effectiveness of detection and response controls and procedures by benchmarking performance against the attributes of specific types of attacks.

When it comes to application security (AppSec), most experts recommend using Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) and Static Application Security Testing (SAST) as “complementary” approaches for robust AppSec. However, these experts rarely specify how to run them in a complementary fashion.

The FireEye breach on Dec 8, 2020, was executed by a “nation with top-tier offensive capabilities.” These hackers got a hold of FireEye’s own toolkit, which they can use to mount new attacks globally. What does this mean for you? Mandiant is a leading Red Team/Penetration Testing company with a highly sophisticated toolkit, called the "Red Team tools." These are digital tools that replicate some of the best hacking tools in the world.

As the security threat landscape continues to evolve, choosing the best application security testing tools is just the first challenge for organizations investing in AppSec. Next, organizations need to figure out how to best orchestrate the application security testing technologies they are using in order to get the most out of them without losing valuable time. That’s where application security testing orchestration comes in.
