Uncovering Hidden Application Vulnerabilities

As software vulnerabilities become more popular as attack vectors, businesses face challenges in securing their applications. With the constant release of new and complex applications – web apps, APIs, mobile apps, client-server apps – finding and fixing the increasing volume of vulnerabilities is more challenging than ever.

A Robust Application Security Program = Peace of Mind

As software vulnerabilities become more popular as attack vectors, businesses face challenges in securing their applications. With the constant release of new and complex applications – web apps, APIs, mobile apps, client-server apps – finding and fixing the increasing volume of vulnerabilities is more challenging than ever.
 
Ensuring the security and trustworthiness of your applications is crucial. The security of your software supply chain, which includes first-party code, third-party and open-source libraries, developer tools, and processes, is paramount for business protection. The complexities involved in selecting trustworthy software components, managing vulnerabilities, detecting malicious open-source packages, generating and scanning software bills of materials, and code signing make this task challenging.
Cysigma can assist you. Our application security experts collaborate with you to understand your current AppSec program, development practices, and the effectiveness of your software development lifecycle (SDLC) frameworks. Together, we design a holistic application security program. We work with your AppSec stakeholders to identify people, processes, or technology that can be effectively deployed, create a secure baseline, and chart a maturity roadmap tailored to your organization’s unique requirements.
 
However, many organizations lack a formal application security program, often doing no more than the occasional scan of their software to secure their growing application environment. Even with the best scanning tools, it’s not enough to prevent expensive breaches, steep fines, and costly litigation from non-compliance.

  • Secure SDLC

    Looking for a way to measure the effectiveness of your application security program in safeguarding sensitive data, defending against modern threats, and ensuring compliance with regulations (NIST, PCI, HIPAA, NYDFS)? Want to align your development processes with your overall security strategy, considering your capabilities, constraints, and budget? Struggling with challenges like gaining developer buy-in or adopting security tools? Cysigma’s Secure SDLC services are the solution. We adopt an interview-driven approach to assess your security maturity within your software development processes. Our AppSec experts collaborate with you to analyze your security posture, pinpoint improvement opportunities in people, processes, and technologies, and provide an actionable roadmap to reduce risk and achieve your goals. If you need assistance in building specific aspects of your program, our experts are here to help. Common program initiatives we develop include developer security training, security champions, governance, tool implementations, threat modeling, and security testing.

  • Threat Modeling

    Defending against the unseen is a challenge. Our threat modeling methodology delves into an application and its runtime environment, examining it from both the architectural and user perspectives to uncover potential threats. We create detailed models that visually represent existing security controls and threats specific to your application and the data it handles. Using our threat analysis, we also assess the likelihood of each threat impacting your systems or data. Precise threat modeling is instrumental in early detection of architecture and design flaws during development, saving time and preventing future complications. It guides more targeted testing to validate application security controls.
