It's important to test for vulnerabilities in today's rapid-development environments because even a small vulnerability can allow sensitive data to be exposed or compromise a system. Modern AppSec testing includes static analysis (SAST), dynamic analysis (DAST), and interactive testing (IAST) to provide comprehensive coverage across the software development lifecycle. Q: How can organizations effectively manage secrets in their applications? Secrets management is a systematized approach that involves storing, disseminating, and rotating sensitive data like API keys and passwords. The best practices are to use dedicated tools for secrets management, implement strict access controls and rotate credentials regularly. Q: What is the difference between a vulnerability that can be exploited and one that can only be "theorized"? A: An exploitable vulnerability has a clear path to compromise that attackers can realistically leverage, while theoretical vulnerabilities may have security implications but lack practical attack vectors. This distinction allows teams to prioritize remediation efforts, and allocate resources efficiently. Q: Why is API security becoming more critical in modern applications? A: APIs are the connecting tissue between modern apps, which makes them an attractive target for attackers. To protect against attacks such as injection, credential stuffing and denial-of-service, API security must include authentication, authorization and input validation. Q: What role does continuous monitoring play in application security? A: Continuous mon
