What is White Box Testing?
White box testing tests the resilience of the internal, and external systems of an application by evaluating the source code thoroughly. Yes, the source code will be given to the ethical hacker who performs the testing.
It is a complex and time-consuming process.

Definition Of Cybersecurity
Before going into the definition of Cybersecurity let’s cover some basics. Online communications take place in cyberspace, which is described as an electronic medium of computer networks. Hundreds of thousands of networked computers, servers carrying large amounts of data, routers, modems, and switches make up this vast network that makes the transfer of critical electronic data possible.
The act of protecting all of these from cyberthreats and cyberattacks using different applications, tools and the measures taken to protect the electronic data is the definition of cybersecurity

What is Cloud Penetration Testing?
Cloud Penetration Testing is an authorized simulation of a cyberattack against a system that is hosted on a cloud service provider. Its main objective is to find the threats and weaknesses of a system hosted on a cloud platform so that you can see how secure it is. Cloud app pen testing also requires a shared responsibility model.

Disadvantages OF SAST
Needs to derive data from testing code, resulting in false positives.
Poor at comprehending libraries or frameworks, such as API or REST endpoints.
It is not possible to check calls for most argument values.
Language dependence(Such as java based, python based) makes it harder to create and maintain tools because it necessitates a separate tool for each language.

Advantages OF SAST
They hunt for theoretical flaws, such as established patterns of vulnerability that developers may be unaware of.
One may make the testing process more efficient by automating it.
They’re adaptable.
They’re great for situations like SQL Injection Flaws that can be identified automatically and with high certainty.
Fixing vulnerabilities is less expensive because it occurs at the beginning of the process.

Why do we need SAST?
SAST decreases application security risks by providing developers with instant feedback on vulnerabilities brought into code during development. 
It assists developers in learning about security while they work by giving real-time recommendations and line-of-code navigation, allowing for quicker vulnerability detection and collaborative auditing.

What is SAST?
Static Application Security Testing (SAST) is a popular Application Security (AppSec) tool that checks an application’s source, binary, or byte code. It is a white-box testing tool that detects the start of vulnerabilities and assists in the remediation of the underlying security problems. SAST solutions examine an application from the “inside out,” They do not require a running system to scan it.
