Definition

Application Security (AppSec) refers to the practice of protecting applications from security threats throughout their entire lifecycle, from design and development to deployment and maintenance. It involves implementing security measures at the application level to prevent data breaches, unauthorized access, and other vulnerabilities. AppSec encompasses a variety of techniques, including secure coding practices, vulnerability assessments, and the use of security tools to identify and mitigate risks.
