Application and Workload Protection

Zero Trust application security requires comprehensive protection mechanisms that secure applications from development through production deployment and runtime operations.

Secure Development Lifecycle

DevSecOps Integration

• Security requirements in design phase
• Static application security testing (SAST)
• Dynamic application security testing (DAST)
• Interactive application security testing (IAST)
• Container and infrastructure as code security

Application Security Testing

• Automated security scanning in CI/CD
• Dependency and supply chain analysis
• API security testing
• Penetration testing integration
• Security gate controls and approvals

Runtime Application Protection

Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP)

• Real-time attack detection and blocking
• Application-level security controls
• Behavioral analysis and anomaly detection
• Zero-day protection capabilities
• Performance-optimized security enforcement

Web Application Firewalls (WAF)

• OWASP Top 10 protection
• Custom security rules and policies
• Rate limiting and DDoS protection
• Bot detection and mitigation
• SSL/TLS termination and inspection

API Security and Management

API Gateway Security

• Authentication and authorization
• Rate limiting and throttling
• Request/response validation
• API versioning and lifecycle management
• Comprehensive logging and monitoring

API Security Best Practices

• OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect
• JWT token validation and management
• Input validation and sanitization
• Error handling and information disclosure
• API security testing and validation

Container and Serverless Security

Container Security

• Image vulnerability scanning
• Runtime container protection
• Kubernetes security policies
• Service mesh security
• Container registry security

Serverless Function Security

• Function-level access controls
• Event source validation
• Resource limits and timeouts
• Dependency management
• Cold start security considerations
