Amplifying the effectiveness of security assessments
A security assessment is commonly perceived as either a dynamic testing of the application through penetration testing or a static review of the source code to uncover vulnerabilities. It is rarely seen as a combination of both approaches.
Penetration testing, a dynamic approach, involves injecting various inputs into the system to identify unprovisioned behavior. On the other hand, security code review is a static approach that allows for a comprehensive understanding of the code, as if you are reading a book. Both approaches are valuable and necessary to ensure the effectiveness of a security assessment.
To put it in perspective, think of code review as the book and penetration testing as its movie adaptation. While consuming either one provides the essence, it’s important to note how often the movie and the book differ significantly.
