When evaluating vendors for application security, organizations should expect them to adhere to the following best practices:
Secure development practices that include following secure coding standards, conducting thorough code reviews, performing security testing, and addressing vulnerabilities throughout the development process. Regular security updates and patches to address any identified vulnerabilities. Security testing and validation, including vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and code reviews, to identify and address potential security flaws in their applications. Secure default configurations out-of-the-box Encryption and data protection to protect sensitive data both in transit and at rest. Authentication and access controls for their applications, including multi-factor authentication (MFA) and role-based access control (RBAC), to ensure appropriate access privileges. Secure integration capabilities. Incident response and transparency to address security incidents and security threats promptly and effectively. Compliance with security standards and regulations Comprehensive security capabilities, including attack detection, anomaly detection, behavioral analytics, API attack detection, endpoint detection and network detection.
