Application Security

Cloud application security includes policies, tools, controls, and more that protect software deployed in the cloud. However, safeguarding cloud-based applications with network and infrastructure security is no longer enough, and many organizations also leverage application-level security measures.

PCI DSS requirement 8.1.8 requires the user to re-authenticate to reactivate the terminal or session if a session has been idle for more than 15 minutes.

PCI DSS requires following secure coding guidelines and requires developers to educate themselves on the latest best practices. Learning software security also requires changes in your approach to programming.

PCI compliant secure software applications must be developed in accordance with industry best practices to meet PCI DSS software requirements.

Source code analysis is the process of testing the source code of the software with manual methods and automated tools to find and fix bugs and vulnerabilities before the application is released for sale or users.

Change documentation should include assessing the change's impact so that all impacted parties may plan adequately for any processing adjustments, according to PCI DSS requirement 6.4.5.1.

PCI DSS requirement 6.3.2 adds another level of information security to the application by requiring you to review custom code before release or production.

API security is the preservation of the integrity of the APIs you own and use. APIs, like systems and applications, is one of the most popular ways microservices and containers communicate.
