We support application preparedness by assisting you in evaluating, identifying, and prioritising all security vulnerabilities in the critical application codebase of your company.
Secure source code is the core of secured applications and Source Code Review is the line-by-line analysis of the application's codebase so that any security vulnerabilities or backdoors left during development can be identified and fixed as soon as possible. In many industries, it is now mandatory for regulatory compliance.
We assist in locating any weaknesses, vulnerabilities, and faults that may be present in the application codebase and affect the functionality and future development of your business applications. We employ a combination of scanning tools and manual inspection to find weak cryptography, backdoors, injection flaws, cross-site scripting flaws, unsafe handling of external resources, etc.
Beyond source code inspection, we also work with the development teams to swiftly find and eliminate any vulnerabilities in the codebase before moving on to the application production stage, which helps reduce exploits.
The steps associated with the technique are as follows:
Application Logic - We'll start by analysing your coding standards and procedures and making any necessary revisions. Then, our reviewers will speak with your development team to understand the application being developed, concentrating on its security design and architecture to fully picture the attack surface in your environment.
Code Review - The next phase is the actual deep dive into the application code to scan and to detect the vulnerable lines of code. These include operations for managing sessions, handling user authentication, and validating data. Additionally, we search for poor coding practices which make it easier for attackers to gain access to your application and sensitive data.
Depending on the requirement, we implement either one or both:
1. Automated analysis: Every sequence in the codebase is examined by the analysis using automated techniques, which also produce the corresponding output.
2. Manual analysis: Line-by-line examination of the programme code is required for manual analysis in order to look for logical mistakes, improper cryptographic implementations, unsafe system setups, and other known platform-specific problems.
Open-Source Analysis - If you are using third-party frameworks and libraries, we will examine these frameworks and attempt to discover any security risks they may bring in your applications. Our team of reviewers can quickly identify common flaws in these third-party frameworks, and even help you plan and implement fixes.
Review Report - The final step is the preparation of a comprehensive source code review report detailing all the vulnerabilities identified during the review process along with the remediation steps to remediate these vulnerabilities. In addition to this, the report will analyse your coding procedures and offer advice on how to enhance or change them with an emphasis on cyber defense and security.
A source code review is a crucial task in the process of making your application ready since it ensures that your code is secure and free of vulnerabilities and helps your organization with:
Quick and Deep Analysis - Quickly inspect flaws with the complete code structure of the application to find out the root of security issues.
Overcome Vulnerabilities Earlier in SDLC - Finds insecure configurations and weak spots to detect attack vectors earlier on the SDLC.
Detailed Reports with Solutions - A detailed report is given, which includes the vulnerabilities in the application code along with code level solutions to keep the applications protected.
Meet Regulatory or Statutory Requirements - Meet the regulatory or your industry specific compliance standards including PCI DSS, HIPAA etc.
