Trends in Application Security Testing

451 Research’s Information Security, Vendor Evaluations study delves into common perceptions around two primary sets of tools supporting security teams: application security and security information and event management (SIEM).

Application security testing generally means the integration of different types of testing throughout the development lifecycle. There is an increasing need to make the use of these tools as frictionless as possible for developers due to that integration.

This report outlines trends in application security, including:

• Whether to go with the ‘best of breed’ security testing tools, or try a portfolio approach.
• What factors to consider when choosing application security testing tools.
• How organizations are prioritizing security development fixes.
