Security QA: Vulnerability Assessment in the Release Cycle

Securing the Software Lifecycle

Waiting until after code releases to perform security reviews is risky. Security QA integration scans application packages during the build process.

Core Security QA Tools

• SAST (Static Application Security Testing): Analyzes source code for injection vulnerabilities.
• SCA (Software Composition Analysis): Scans open-source packages for known vulnerabilities.

Integrating dependency scanning into your release pipeline prevents deploying code with known security vulnerabilities.
