Source code written by developers is the core component (i.e., the brain) of any software. Security Code Review is a proactive activity that helps developers to create a self-defensible application against cyber threats and risks. The goal of such activity is to identify vulnerabilities resulted from the use of dangerous functions or lack of proper input validation, by verify that the proper security controls are present, that they work as intended, and that they have been invoked in all the right places. Security Code Review complements penetration testing and other security testing activities to achieve 360-degree coverage on the application. Indeed, that will reveal more hidden and difficult to find vulnerabilities that could not be detected during the penetration test.
Act proactively by having crystal clear image about your source code and risks residing in it before officially releasing it. This will enable you to fix those hard-to-find vulnerabilities before it is too late. As threats might come from inside (i.e., a developer intentionally plants a backdoor within your code), Secure Code Review will help in revealing this kind of risk to you. At TechArch, we have well-defined methodologies, and efficient tools to research and identify such vulnerabilities.
In Secure Code Review, we conduct SAST (Static Application Security Testing) and DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing) on targeted application to detect as much vulnerabilities as possible. The SAST will dig deep into the code to identify vulnerable code and to see if any user inputs will lead to the vulnerable code. Besides, SAST will identify the number of occurrences of a particular vulnerability and locate its fix group, making it easy for developers to fix multiple vulnerabilities from one location (fix group). On the other hands, DAST will help to validate the exploitability of identified vulnerabilities resulted from SAST activity as well as to detect business-logic vulnerabilities that SAST cannot identify. By this approach we can assure to you that your application is 360 degree covered and official release is viable now.
