Application Security Testing tools and Uniface

  • 1.  Application Security Testing tools and Uniface

    Posted 04-13-2022 18:10
    One of the software platforms in my organization is Uniface (version 10.3.02) and we've only used it for desktop applications. We use ColdFusion for web applications and Microsoft .NET (WPF) for all recent desktop applications.

    In a current effort underway in our shop, all platform administrators have been asked to consider what application security testing tool categories (SAST, DAST, IAST, RASP) would best meet the needs of a testing tool for their platform. My understanding is that some of these categories are only applicable to web applications. After a tool category (or categories) is/are determined, we will look at tools in those categories.

    My questions are:
    1) Are any application security testing categories/tools applicable, needed or useful (or can even be configured) in a Uniface desktop application environment?
    2) If so, what benefits or usefulness do they provide?
    3) Does anyone use application security testing tools with Uniface desktop applications? If so, what are you using?

    Thank you for your input on this subject.
