Our aim is to equip your developers with the knowledge and tools they need to maintain and enhance the security of your software, ensuring long-term protection and resilience in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
Why Should You Perform Application Security Code Review?
- Adapting to Advanced Threats: Essential for adapting to sophisticated cyber threats, security code reviews strengthen applications against new hacking techniques and vulnerabilities.
- Adapts to Emerging Technologies and Practices: Regular reviews ensure the application’s security evolves with new technologies and practices, maintaining robust defenses in a rapidly changing tech landscape.
- Early Vulnerability Detection: Security code reviews catch vulnerabilities early, reducing exploit risks by addressing flaws before they become ingrained in the code, enhancing the application’s security from the start.
- Ensuring Compliance with Evolving Standards: Regular reviews are key to keeping applications in line with the latest cybersecurity standards and legal regulations, ensuring ongoing compliance.
- Security Best Practices Integration: Integrating secure coding practices from the outset through reviews establishes a strong security foundation, preventing common vulnerabilities and embedding security into the software development lifecycle.
- Reduces Cost of Late Fixes: Identifying and resolving security issues during development, rather than post-deployment, significantly cuts costs associated with late-stage fixes, rework, and potential operational disruptions.
How Does Security Code Review Secure Application?
- Improved Application Security: Address vulnerabilities at the application-level, ensuring robust security mechanisms.
- Regulatory Adherence: Ensure your codebase aligns with industry standards and best practices.
- Enhanced Code Quality: The review process can also enhance the overall quality and efficiency of your code.
- User Assurance: Reinforce the trust users place in your application by ensuring its security.
- Cost-Effective Strategy: Address vulnerabilities early, preventing potential costly breaches and subsequent reparations.
What Will be Assessed During A Security Code Review?
- Business Logic: Deep dive into the application’s logic, identifying potential flaws or vulnerabilities that could be exploited.
- Authentication Mechanisms: Examination of authentication processes and protocols. This includes checks for weak password policies, hardcoded credentials, and other potential pitfalls.
- Code Injection Points: Scrutinize potential areas susceptible to injections, such as SQL, OS Commands, and more, ensuring they are fortified against such attacks.
- Client-side Vulnerabilities: Comprehensive analysis of client-side codes, highlighting vulnerabilities like Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF).
- Third-party Components: Thorough evaluation of integrated third-party components, libraries, and modules for potential vulnerabilities they might introduce into the application.
- And More: Including session management vulnerabilities, insecure data storage or transfer points, weaknesses in cryptographic protocols, and potential backdoors or logic bombs.
The Main Obstacles to Writing Secure Code
- Expertise in Security Tools: Security tools require specialized expertise to use efficiently
- Misplaced Reliance on Firewalls: Firewalls are often misinterpreted as sufficient to block threats
- Lack of QA Involvement: Quality assurance teams are often not involved at this level
- Developer Training Gaps: Most developers are not trained specifically to write secure code
- Knowledge Gap in Standards: Top standards and best practices are often unknown to dev teams
