How to Build a Layered Approach to Application Security Testing

If you are buying or building threat modeling automation, here are three conjectures to take into consideration.

NetSPI examines why development and application security teams clash over deadlines and findings, offering five steps to make security testing participation easier and less adversarial for developers.

Mobile platforms carry users' most intimate data, yet security is often an afterthought. NetSPI offers a threat modeling framework to evaluate mobile apps at design time or retroactively.

A walkthrough of the penetration testing life cycle—planning, scanning, exploitation, persistence, and reporting—and how a structured process yields consistent findings and measurable security gains.

Podcast talk on shift-left application security: moving tests earlier saves time and money but strains teams, and contextual pentesting with better asset prioritization eases AppSec friction.

A phased checklist for building AppSec maturity: keep practices current with SDLC and DevOps changes, benchmark against industry data, and use roadmaps to prioritize remediation.
