Introduction to Application Security Automation

Scalable and Comprehensive Application Security is an essential requirement, especially for DevOps and rapid-release application. However, most environments today find it challenging to successfully incorporate a robust and resilient Application Security practice into their Continuous Delivery Pipeline.
To compound these challenges, Application Security Teams grapple with a host of capacity issues.
While applications may be rapidly delivered to customers, Application security still remains a massive bottleneck in your continuous delivery pipeline. Application security is critical because companies lose billions of dollars due to vulnerabilities in their applications. Apart from typical vulnerabilities like SQL Injection and Cross Site Scripting, vulnerabilities in authentication, authorization, business logic and cryptographic implementations are more prevalent and can cause massive damage.
