The Role of QA in Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity is not only about firewalls and encryption—it starts with testing. QA plays a critical role in safeguarding applications.

Security Testing Practices

QA teams test for vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, XSS, and authentication flaws.

Shift-Left Security

Integrating security testing early in the development cycle reduces risks and costs.

Automation in Security QA

Automated tools like OWASP ZAP can continuously scan for vulnerabilities.

Conclusion

QA strengthens cybersecurity by making testing an essential defense mechanism.
