What are the key activities involved in the basic level of security testing

The basic level of security testing includes the following key activities:

• Static Application Security Testing (SAST): Reviewing the source code to identify vulnerabilities without executing the code.
• Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST): Analysing the running application to detect vulnerabilities in a live environment.
• Software Composition Analysis (SCA)- Analysing the software libraries to check for software licenses and vulnerable libraries.
• Penetration Testing: Simulating an attack to find exploitable vulnerabilities.
• Vulnerability Scanning: Using automated tools to scan the application for known vulnerabilities.
