Application Security Foundations

The starting sequence for engineers who are new to application security at Strata — what gets measured, against which standards, and where the platform's own reasoning about priority comes from.

Audience
Engineers new to application security, or new to how Strata specifically measures and prioritizes it.
Level
Introductory
Depth
Short — six steps, mostly reference material with one hands-on tool at the end.

Prerequisites

  • None — this is the starting point.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand how the Knowledge Center is organized and where to go for what.
  • Recognize the standards (OWASP, CWE, CVSS, and related frameworks) Strata's own findings map to.
  • Be able to reason about priority beyond a raw severity score.

Steps

1. Knowledge Center

Open

Page

Start with the map before the territory — this is the front door to everything else in every other path.

2. Framework Coverage

Open

Page

See every standard Strata maps findings to in one place before going deep on any single one.

3. OWASP Coverage

Open

Page

The OWASP Mobile Top 10 is the framework the rest of the mobile-specific content in this library assumes you recognize.

4. Vulnerability Prioritization Beyond CVSS

Open

Article

A severity score alone doesn't tell you what to fix first — this is the reasoning every prioritization-related path in this library builds on.

5. Vulnerability Prioritization Matrix

Open

Decision Center

Apply the reasoning from the previous step directly, with your own inputs, instead of just reading about it.

6. Secure SDLC Planner

Open

Decision Center

Zoom out from a single finding to the process that should catch findings like it earlier next time.
