▶Book Description
Security automation is the automatic handling of software security assessments tasks. This book helps you to build your security automation framework to scan for vulnerabilities without human intervention.

This book will teach you to adopt security automation techniques to continuously improve your entire software development and security testing. You will learn to use open source tools and techniques to integrate security testing tools directly into your CI/CD framework. With this book, you will see how to implement security inspection at every layer, such as secure code inspection, fuzz testing, Rest API, privacy, infrastructure security, and web UI testing.

With the help of practical examples, this book will teach you to implement the combination of automation and Security in DevOps. You will learn about the integration of security testing results for an overall security status for projects.

By the end of this book, you will be confident implementing automation security in all layers of your software development stages and will be able to build your own in-house security automation platform throughout your mobile and cloud releases.

▶What You Will Learn
？ Automate secure code inspection with open source tools and effective secure code scanning suggestions
？ Apply security testing tools and automation frameworks to identify security vulnerabilities in web, mobile and cloud services
？ Integrate security testing tools such as OWASP ZAP, NMAP, SSLyze, SQLMap, and OpenSCAP
？ Implement automation testing techniques with Selenium, JMeter, Robot Framework, Gauntlt, BDD, DDT, and Python unittest
？ Execute security testing of a Rest API Implement web application security with open source tools and script templates for CI/CD integration
？ Integrate various types of security testing tool results from a single project into one dashboard

▶Key Features
？ Secure and automate techniques to protect web, mobile or cloud services
？ Automate secure code inspection in C++, Java, Python, and JavaScript
？ Integrate security testing with automation frameworks like fuzz, BDD, Selenium and Robot Framework

▶Who This Book Is For
The book is for software developers, architects, testers and QA engineers who are looking to leverage automated security testing techniques.

출판사 서평

▶ Preface
This book is aimed at software developers, architects, testers, and QA engineers looking to build automated security testing frameworks alongside their existing Continuous Integration (CI) frameworks to achieve security quality in the software development and testing cycle.

It will teach you how to adopt security automation techniques to continuously improve your entire software development and security testing cycle. This book aims to combine security and automation to protect web and cloud services. This practical guide will teach you how to use open source tools and techniques to integrate security testing tools directly into your CI/Continuous Delivery (CD) framework. It will also show you how to implement security inspection at every layer, such as secure code inspection, fuzz testing, REST API testing, privacy testing, infrastructure security testing, and fuzz testing. With the help of practical examples, it will also teach you how to implement a combination of automation and security in DevOps. Furthermore, it will cover topics on the integration of security testing results so that you can gain an overview of the overall security status of your projects.

This book best fits those in the following roles and scenarios:

？ Developers who are not familiar with secure coding rules, but need effective and automated secure code inspection with existing CI/CD integration.
？ Development and QA teams who would like to perform security automation at different levels, such as the API, fuzz, functional, and infrastructure levels, but may have a gap to bridge in order to achieve automated security testing.
？ Security team members who are finding that the testing output of their various security testing tools is not easily understood by non-security testing teams. In such cases, a universally recognizable security testing report is needed so that everyone can understand the overall security status of a project. (For these cases, behavior-driven and acceptance testing frameworks will be introduced.)

By the end of this book, you will be well versed in implementing automation security at all stages of your software development cycle, and will also have learned how to build your own in-house security automation platform for your cloud releases.
