Application Security

Identify the vulnerabilities in internally developed as well as 3rd party applications and put a comprehensive application security risk management program in place.

We Live in an Application-Centric World

Web applications, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) applications, 3rd party binaries, mobile applications and more - every aspect of the business is dependent somehow on an application in some fashion. Attackers know this, targeting the software that controls your information assets so they can steal data, hijack systems or disrupt business.

The problem is that many organizations do not have the in-house resources to analyze the security risks in every application that is involved in critical business processes or in many cases even properly prioritize such efforts on the assets that make the most difference. The process is simply too complex and volume too large as IT environments are growing more expansive and distributed and are continually evolving as new technologies, applications and architectures are being introduced. The issue lies not only in ensuring current assets are protected and risks are mitigated, but also in establishing a procurement and development process and framework that reduces the volume of vulnerabilities before they are introduced instead of after as well as aids in demonstrating compliance to customers, employees, investors and auditors.
