A Complete Guide to Cloud-Native Application Security

However, these tools have downsides that may cause more challenges for DevOps teams: SAST has difficulties scanning and reporting on cloud-native applications because static tools only see the application source code it can follow. As more cloud-native apps are now developed with libraries and third-party components, this generates failures in the tool processing these links. DAST interactively testing the applications from the outside requires the application to be fully built upon every code change. As…
