Which one of the following options is not a security standard?

A. SANS 25
B. SAST
C. None of the options
D. All the options
E. OWASP

The option that is not a security standard is B. SAST, which is a methodology for analyzing code for vulnerabilities rather than a specific security standard. The other options, SANS 25 and OWASP, are associated with security standards. Therefore, the correct choice is B. SAST.

The question is asking about security standards, which are protocols or guidelines that ensure the protection and integrity of information systems. Let's examine the options provided:

SANS 25 : This refers to the SANS Top 25, a list of common software vulnerabilities. It is considered a resource for understanding software security but is not a standard.

SAST : Static Application Security Testing (SAST) is a methodology used to analyze source code for vulnerabilities. It is a process rather than a standard.

OWASP : The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is a worldwide not-for-profit charitable organization focused on improving the security of software. OWASP provides guidelines and resources, such as the OWASP Top Ten, but again, it is not a security standard.


After analyzing these options:

Option (A) SANS 25 is not a formal security standard.
Option (B) SAST is not a security standard but a testing process.
Option (E) OWASP does not represent a single security standard.

Therefore, the option (C) None of the options is correct because neither SANS 25, SAST, nor OWASP is officially a security standard. Each provides valuable guidance and tools in the field of cybersecurity, but they are not defined standards like ISO/IEC 27001 or NIST standards.
In conclusion, the answer is (C) None of the options.
