Most often, application security is overlooked in an enterprise security plan. This is due to the pressure of rolling out new applications and other customized software online quickly which in turn leads into inadequate security and testing. Wavestrong’ team of experts meticulously assesses applications for both internally and externally to identify all vulnerabilities and security concerns. We provide out customer a detailed report documenting all findings and make specific code-level recommendations for remediating any vulnerability discovered.
Architecture, Design, & Modeling
Wavestrong application architecture, design, and threat modeling services enable our customers to identify software security problems, before the software is even built. Software engineering studies have proven that approximately 80 percent of application security bugs and flaws are introduced during the early stages of software development lifecycle - often before even a single line of code has been written. Our methodology and approach can typically identify over 75 percent of the issues, thus enabling development teams to prevent implementing insecure code. Wavestrong starts all sizeable code assessments with a threat model. Threat models help us manage the size of the code base we need to examine down to a much smaller scope, typically between 40 percent and 60 percent of the original code size, thus saving our customers time and money.
Source Code Reviews
Application security is only as good as the foundation it's built on. What causes an application to be vulnerable? Wavestrong can answer this, along with many other questions, while on the way to reducing the number of software defects in your organization. Using both automated tools and human analysis, we work with your developers to provide best practices for application development. Wavestrong begins source code analysis by reviewing the design documents, collecting information on libraries used and understanding the intended usage of the application. Based on this information, we will analyze all potential fundamental flaws and vulnerabilities in your application.
PCI Gap Assessments and Remediation
Wavestrong Security Consultants are true experts in the PCI Data Security Standard. We can provide audit and assessment reports to help bring your applications and organization into compliance through a variety of assessment, remediation, and hardening services.
Application Hardening
Unlike most firms, we offer services that go beyond just testing. Our team can help you close the holes we find and train your development teams to ensure new vulnerabilities are not introduced into the code base.
Database Vulnerability & Architecture Assessments
Mission critical data and information, the crown jewels of your organization, are stored in databases 24/7. These databases are quickly becoming the favorite target of malicious insiders and external attackers. Your database platforms, from day one, are vulnerable to exploitation due to mis-configurations and vulnerabilities. Wavestrong provides organizations around the world with industry leading vulnerability assessments of their database systems. We quickly and accurately help you assess your database vulnerabilities, prioritize and then fix your high risk threats while continuing to help you manage the security of your most prized possession; DATA.
