💻 What is Application Security (AppSec)?

While network security protects the perimeter, Application Security (AppSec) focuses on keeping software, web apps, and APIs free from threats throughout their development lifecycle.

Here are the key pillars of AppSec:
🛠️ Secure Coding: Writing clean code to prevent flaws like SQL Injection or Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).
📋 OWASP Top 10: Focusing on the most critical web application security risks.
🔍 SAST & DAST: Using Static and Dynamic Application Security Testing tools to automatically scan for bugs.
🚀 DevSecOps: Integrating security early into every phase of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) rather than testing at the end.

Golden Rule: Fixing a bug during the design phase is 100x cheaper than fixing it after deployment.
How does your team integrate security into development workflows? Let's discuss below! 👇
