Over the next two episodes of Dev Interrupted I explore what DevSecOps actually means to dev teams with John Willis.
Security testing is used to identify the unapproved users within some information system and make the data secure. A conscientious and well carried out security testing can help the data to be secure and remain inaccessible to the malicious viruses and threats that might want to break through it. Below are the 9 web security tools that you can use to identify unauthorized invasions into your system.

This blog will explain how this vulnerability can be exploited and how to safeguard your app by using the more secure version of deep links, App Links.
