You are part of a cybersecurity team tasked with assessing the security of a web application prior to its deployment. According to the OWASP Testing Guide, what is a primary focus during the initial phase of security testing?
The primary focus during the initial phase of security testing according to the OWASP Testing Guide is to gather information about the system. This includes understanding the application's architecture, entry points, and potential threats. This foundational knowledge allows for targeted and effective testing in subsequent phases. Other activities, such as vulnerability scanning and code review, typically occur after this foundational information has been collected.
