What is Leak Detection?
Leak Detection, also known as leak monitoring or continuous stress testing, is a proactive approach to detecting potential issues in your application before they cause any problems. It involves regularly scanning your code for vulnerabilities and weaknesses that could be exploited by attackers.
Benefits of Leak Detection
- Increased security and protection from potential attacks
- Reduced risk of data breaches and cyber threats
- Improved code quality and reduced bugs
- Enhanced user experience with faster and more reliable applications
How Leak Detection Works
Leak Detection involves a combination of automated scanning and manual review to identify potential vulnerabilities. Automated scanners use various techniques, such as static code analysis and dynamic testing, to detect common issues like SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS). Manual reviewers then analyze the results and prioritize fixes based on severity and impact.
