Application Security Assessment

Sometimes called shift Left security, it embeds security into the earliest phases of the application development process. Application security is an essential part of the software development life cycle, and getting it right must be a top priority. Vulnerable code is identified as it is developed rather than in the testing phase, which reduces costs and results in more secure apps. Protecting business applications from threats while keeping them continuously available to users is necessary for secure business operations.

Developing an AppSec Program helps remove business applications from being the primary points of attack. Securing an organization’s mobile, email, and web applications needs to be prioritized in order to protect data, users, and the business. Securing applications is a multi-faceted activity that requires a thorough understanding of the application's behavior and its various functionalities. We review a business application’s internal framework based on the company’s policies and procedures specific to that app and then identify the risks and vulnerabilities associated with its usage.

Using the DevSecOps Operating Model, we catch security flaws before they cause hardship to your enterprise using the following tools as our application security program service offerings:

• Static Application Security Testing (SAST): This identifies vulnerabilities in the application source code early in the software development stages. It is a “white box” method of testing, which means it tests the inner workings of an application, rather than its functionality. A SAST tool analyzes source code without executing the application, so it can find vulnerabilities early in the software development life cycle. That makes fixes less expensive to implement. It can be integrated into existing CI and CD processes.
  
• Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) identifies security vulnerabilities in a production-running application. DAST is a method of “black box” testing used in web application security that focuses on finding vulnerabilities in a running app’s functionalities. DAST represents a hacker’s approach, as the tester has no visibility into the app’s inner workings.

No matter what the needs of an organization are, Manorhouse is here to provide you with the application security program needed to enhance your cybersecurity posture. Our team of engineers and developers takes a holistic view and uses resources and technology that facilitate a quick response coupled with corrective measures to mitigate the incident and prevent cyber attacks.
