An Application Gateway with Web Application Firewall (WAF) is also included to provide additional protection by providing the Web Application Gateway functionality. This works by inspecting the traffic and providing defence against the OWASP top 10…
Managing Azure Network Traffic with Network Security Groups

Integrating ARM Template Security Testing into a DevOps Pipeline
Following on from an earlier post about incorporating penetration testing with OWASP ZAP into an Azure DevOps pipeline, I am going to talk about how to add vulnerability checks for your ARM Templates to a release pipeline.
Integrating security testing into an Azure DevOps pipeline – OWASP ZAP
One of the most effective ways of enhancing the security posture of a solution is to incorporate security into the development lifecycle and embed it within the normal CI/CD pipelines of a project. In this post I am going to look at the Passive Pentest stage of the CI/CD Pipeline.
