The OWASP AppSec Pipeline Project

The OWASP AppSec Pipeline Project is the place to find the information you need to increase the speed and automation of your AppSec program. Using the documentation and references of this project will allow you to setup your own AppSec Pipeline.

Description

The AppSec pipeline project is a place to gather together information, techniques and tools to create your own AppSec Pipeline. AppSec Pipelines take the principals of DevOps and Lean and apply that to an application security program. The project will gather references, cheat sheets, and specific guidance for tools/software which would compose an AppSec Pipeline.

The initial launch of this project include an a web-based Application inventory and engagement management tool called Bag of Holding. See the "Pipeline Tools" Tab for more infomration

Bag of Holding - A web-based Application inventory and engagement management tool

Bag of Holding centers around an application. Each application can have one or more an associated engagement. An engagement is time boxed and consists of a set of activities such as a dynamic scan, a static scan, a threat model or a manual review. Each application includes metadata around the app such as a data classification, business criticality, number of users and revenue. Applications will have the ability to be tagged.

The first release is a minimal viable product which will allow for creating and updating an application. Engagements and supporting activities are part of the first release.

The first release includes:

  • Dashboard showing entire application portfolio and last assessment date
  • Applications requiring assessments
  • Managing the work load for assessments
  • KPI's around application workload
  • Tracking of dev team training and overall maturity
  • Request form for dev/product managers to request an application review

Example AppSec Pipeline















The specific tools used in a pipeline aren't the important part - its making your AppSec engagements as efficient as possible.
