Open source software packages can speed up the development process by allowing developers to implement functionality without having to write all of the code. However, with the open source code comes open source vulnerabilities. Dependency management tools help manage vulnerabilities in open source packages by identifying and updating packages with known vulnerabilities.

Dynamic Analysis Security Testing (DAST) is a form of black-box security testing where a security scanner interacts with a running instance of an application, emulating malicious activity to find common vulnerabilities. DAST tools are commonly used in the initial phases of a penetration test, and can find vulnerabilities such as cross-site scripting, SQL injection, cross-site request forgery and information disclosure.

Infrastructure as Code allows applications to be deployed reliably to a consistent environment. This not only ensures that infrastructure is consistently hardened, but also provides an opportunity to statically and dynamically analyse infrastructure definitions for vulnerable dependencies, hard-coded secrets, insecure configuration and unintentional changes in security configuration. The following tools facilitate this analysis.

• Cfn Nag - Stelligent - Scan AWS CloudFormation templates for insecure configuration.

Intentionally vulnerable applications are often useful when developing security tests and tooling to provide a place you can run tests and make sure they fail correctly. These applications can also be useful for understanding how common vulnerabilities are introduced into applications and let you practice your skills at exploiting them.

It's not enough to test and harden our software in the lead up to a release. We must also monitor our production software for usage, performance and errors to capture malicious behavior and potential security flaws that we may need to respond to or address. A wide variety of tools are available to monitor different aspects of production software and infrastructure.

• Csper - Csper - A set of Content Security Policy tools that can test policies, monitor CSP reports and provide metrics and alerts.

The software we write needs to use secrets (passwords, API keys, certificates, database connection strings) to access resources, yet we cannot store secrets within the codebase as this leaves them vulnerable to compromise. Secret management tools provide a means to securely store, access and manage secrets.

Static Analysis Security Testing (SAST) tools scan software for vulnerabilities without executing the target software.
