The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), which regulates some of the world's largest financial institutions, states, in its MAS Tech Risk Management Guidelines section 6.1.6, that it is essential for the financial institution to establish a comprehensive strategy to perform application security validation and testing. The financial institution may use a mixture of static, dynamic and interactive application security testing methods to validate the security of the software application.
