What is application security?
Every electronic system in the world essentially operates a program, or an application. Therefore application security is extremely pervasive and important. Small businesses are often the target of cyberattacks, as they may not have the same security measures in place as larger businesses. Hackers know that these businesses may be less likely to have the funds to recover from a data breach, so they go after them first. If you’re a business owner, it’s important to understand why application security is so important, and take steps to protect your business. One way to do this is by hiring a third-party security company to help you assess and mitigate your risks.
Multi-faceted landscape
I you want to build a robust software security you must think about how to address the following areas :
Capturing security requirements based on business and compliance needs.
Evaluation of the planned architecture and security “shift left” early in SDLC. That way you will avoid costly rework later on.
Static application security testing with a tool of your choice.
Manual code review for security.
Dynamic application security testing with a tool of your choice.
Software composition analysis and evaluation of alternatives.
Container security analysis and remediation of defects.
Penetration testing of any stack in the cloud and on-prem.
Integration of security tools into CI/CD pipeline. That includes chaos engineering for advanced teams.
Staff training, workshops, and knowledge transfer.
In a world where data breaches are becoming more and more common, it is essential that businesses take steps to protect their applications and data. Unfortunately, many companies do not have the resources or knowledge necessary to ensure application security. That’s where consultants comes in. They must have a long proven track record in application security and be able to help your business prevent costly data breaches. Prevention is always cheaper than fixing, so don’t wait until it’s too late.
