Application Code Review
Manual, deep source code reviews and building of custom tools to identify application logic, security, and other business risks associated with insecure coding practices.
Your development team are experts ... in developing.
As the demand for modern applications continues to grow, your development team needs to be on the leading edge of ideation and creation. Asking them to also be cyber security experts is simply not fair.
Experts and expertise where needed.
Code review is a critical component of a complete Secure Software Development Lifecycle (Secure SDLC) and aids in ensuring the quality and security of application source code.
Without addressing the highly advanced cyber security requirements for applications, vulnerable code can lead to attackers exploiting these bugs, resulting in potentially serious consequences.
The solution? Your team of expert application developers requires a partnered approach with security professionals to enable continued productivity while still ensuring that your applications are secure.
No Automation. Real People. Real Results.
Traditionally, the world has suffered at the hands of code review assessments performed by automated tools of varying levels of effectiveness. At Cycura, we believe that real people—real hackers—make the difference. Our manual, deep source code reviews along with custom tools help you identify application logic, security and business risks associated with non-secure code. Our custom approach to code review services continually builds and improves upon industry best practices, all designed to drive ultimate value for you and your business. Best of all, each and every project is tailored to a client’s specific build, language, infrastructure, and desired outcomes.
Static Code Review
Our static code reviews are crucial in identifying vulnerabilities that may reside within your codebase, which are not immediately obvious at run time. Over time, these vulnerabilities can become more significant threats as the application’s architecture and dependencies grow and change. Here’s how we help you become genuinely secure:
Phase One:
Data Flow Analysis
We review all data flow through the application, from entry to its final destination, determining how data is handled by the application and the intended controls to safeguard and process said data.
Phase Two:
Vulnerable Variable Analysis
Our analysis focuses on the variables and inputs that a user can manipulate within the application. We then identify these variables and assess their subsequent security mechanisms.
Phase Three:
Functional & Logical Analysis
This analysis focuses on the functional and logical flow of your application. It seeks to identify the potential for an attacker to exploit intended application behavior to achieve unintended or unforeseen adverse results.
Phase Four:
Vulnerable Dependency Identification
While the review of the security of third-party components is out of the scope of static assessments, in this portion of the source code review, Cycura identifies any third-party elements present within the application that have known vulnerabilities which may impact your overall security of the application.
