Continuous security assessment of cloud based applications using distributed hashing algorithm in SDLC

Cloud computing is a very rapidly growing technology with more facilities but also with more issues in terms of vulnerabilities before and after deploying the applications into the cloud. The vulnerabilities are assessed before the applications are deployed into the cloud. However, after deploying the applications, periodical checking of systems for vulnerabilities is not carried out. This paper assesses the applications online for vulnerabilities at regular intervals and if any changes are made in the code, Webhook will trigger the vulnerability checking tool based on Hashing algorithm to check for vulnerabilities in the updated application. The main aim of this system is to constantly scan the applications that are deployed in the cloud and check for vulnerabilities as part of the continuous integration and continuous deployment process. This process of checking for vulnerabilities after every update in the application should be included in the software development lifecycle.
