Continuous Security Testing

Continuous security testing integrates security assessments into the ongoing development and deployment process, rather than relying on periodic point-in-time tests. This approach aligns security testing with modern CI/CD practices, ensuring that every code change, deployment, or configuration update is validated against security requirements before reaching production.

A continuous security testing program typically layers multiple testing types: SAST and SCA run on every commit, DAST pentests run on staging deployments, and penetration tests run on regular schedules or before major releases. The key principle is that security testing should happen automatically and frequently, catching vulnerabilities as early as possible in the development lifecycle.

How APVISO helps with this: APVISO enables continuous penetration testing through CI/CD integrations and scheduled pentests. Run a full AI-powered pentest on every staging deployment, on a weekly schedule, or triggered by your pipeline — ensuring your applications are continuously validated against real-world attack scenarios.
