Application Security Technologies
Application security testing tools and solutions won’t equate to having an AppSec program, but they will help make whatever AppSec means to your organization tangible.
Determining the Right Application Security Technology
There are lots of solutions available in the market. Determining which application security technologies can add value to your secure development process is dependent on your application environments, compliance regulations, and the desire to embed security within the development process.
Our team has extensive, real-world experience with each focusing on application security technology. We apply a hands-on approach and can provide guidance on what AppSec technologies will work best for your organization, based on your current environment and future goals.
SECURITY IS A JOURNEY, NOT A DESTINATION
As a vendor-agnostic partner
navigating your AppSec (Application Security) technology journey we offer comprehensive integration services for a wide variety of application security focused technologies. Our AppSec engineering services are tailored for your unique use cases, but generally include:
- Knowledgeable and experienced AppSec professionals who are available to install, configure and run various AppSec (Application Security) technologies for you
- Ensuring that your various AppSec technologies perform and govern your application portfolio as intended and that they provide your organization with proactive risk reduction and cost-savings metrics that support the progress and overall maturation of secure development
SAST (Static Application Security Testing)
Whether it’s your proprietary source code or bytecode, static analysis gives your development teams the power to reduce risk and remediate issues in the code well before an app is deployed to production.
Typically integrated into the SDLC with other CI/CD tools, this allows teams to truly “shift left” and organically build security into their development cycles.
SCA (Software Composition Analysis)
The building blocks of modern software are comprised of third-party and open-source libraries.
By integrating SCA directly into your code repositories, development teams are able to prevent the introduction of unnecessary risk by monitoring versions, known vulnerabilities with publicly available exploits, licensing, and potential compliance issues surrounding the use of unsafe components across your application and container portfolio.
DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing)
DAST provides internal teams with the ability to detect conditions that indicate a vulnerability that exists in your live, running applications. This testing method allows for the identification of issues that can be further manipulated or actively exploited.
WAF (Web Application Firewall)
WAFs are web application security solutions that provide a front-end, application security technology web application-specific layer of defense that can monitor, filter, and block signature-based traffic of known attack types.
While properly configured WAFs can block attacks, they are limited in correlating how malicious traffic is handled by an application because they are not designed to consider the back-end.
RASP (Runtime Application Self-Protection)
RASP provides a layer of back-end protection that enables your applications to defend themselves against known and zero-day attacks, all while moving alongside the application at the speed of modern development.
This saves critical time and leaves no question as to where development teams need to focus on remediation or mitigation efforts.
