About Security Testing
Security testing is an integral part of software testing, which is used to discover the weaknesses, risks, or threats in the software application and also help us to stop the nasty attack from outsiders and make sure the security of our software applications.

Why is Security Testing important?
A comprehensive security testing framework deals with validation across all layers of an application. Starting with analysis and evaluation of the security of the infrastructure of the application, it moves further covering the network, database, and application exposure layers. While application and mobile testing serve to evaluate security at these levels, cloud penetration testing exposes the security chinks in the armor, when the application is hosted in the cloud. These testing concepts make use of a combination of automated scanner tools that evaluate lines of code for security anomalies and penetration testing that simulates attacks by unintended access channels.
