Data Center Application Security

 Penetration testing, also known as ethical hacking, involves simulating real-world attacks to identify vulnerabilities in applications and systems.

 A WAF is a security solution that filters and monitors incoming and outgoing web application traffic, aiming to detect and prevent common web-based attacks such as cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, and cross-site request forgery (CSRF).
 

SSO is an authentication mechanism that enables users to access multiple applications and systems with a single set of credentials. It centralizes user

authentication and eliminates the need for separate login credentials for each

application.

Static code analysis involves analyzing application source code to identify potential security vulnerabilities, coding errors, and software quality issues. This analysis is performed without executing the code.

Dynamic code analysis, also known as application or runtime testing, involves evaluating application behavior and security in real-time during its execution.

API gateways act as intermediaries between clients and backend services, providing a unified entry point for accessing APIs. They can enforce security policies, authenticate and authorize API requests, throttle traffic, and provide monitoring and analytics capabilities.

API security encompasses practices, protocols, and measures taken to protect application programming interfaces (APIs) from potential vulnerabilities and attacks.
