Most of the vulnerabilities in applications are due to security loopholes arising out of insecure coding practices. Most often, developers are not aware of the magnitude of security problems that may arise due to insecure coding. Usually the development teams are not formally trained in writing secure code and may end up writing code which meets the business requirement in terms of functionality but has flaws that can lead to security vulnerabilities being introduced into business applications.
A Source Code security review exercise (also known as white-box application assessment) is an effective and fool proof mechanism to discover design-level & code-level security flaws in business applications. It also helps to provide assurance that key code-level security controls have been implemented appropriately. While application security testing (grey-box and black-box) can identify security issues, a Source Code review is a fool-proof mechanism for identifying vulnerabilities that can be difficult or impossible to find in a black-box or grey-box application testing.
A typical Source Code security review activity utilizes a combination of automated code security scanning followed by detailed manual review to detect security flaws in code, identify insecure coding practices, intentional/unintentional trojans/backdoors and other known application security flaws as per the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) top 10, Web Application Security Consortium (WASC) standards and SANS top 25.
Our team of code security experts conduct a fast and effective code review to assist our customers in identifying design as well as code level security flaws that are introduced because of insecure design and coding practices. After the code review is completed, our team provides our customers with a comprehensive report detailing all security flaws discovered during the code security review along with suggested recommendations to secure the application code.
