But what is Secure Code Review?
The manual or automated process that assesses the application’s source code is called secure code review. This process is highly vital for an organization since it detects any present security weaknesses and errors. Interestingly, it has been stated that the best way to protect your code is the mixture of this two processes.
Testing at the right stage
In this blog we will talk about the importance and benefits of fixing the vulnerabilities at the coding stage and not at the production stage.
Usually, application security exercises conduct the security testing later in the software lifecycle, meaning during the production stage. This means that, security issues are more costly and time-consuming to resolve. Not allowing the organization to market the software at the right time.
The good news are that, new processes allow testing during the development stage which enables understanding of the problem and directly fixing it, before it hits the production. Not to mention that, to fix vulnerabilities during this stage the cost is 15x more.
The solution
For this reason, Accutech provides an Application Security solution which incorporates security in the development course. This unique provision of a single scalable SaaS platform, manages application analysis by utilizing developer enablement and AppSec governance at the same time. Noteworthy to say, the application analysis solutions we provide include (in most well-known programming languages) web, mobile apps, and microservices.
Yet, the development team has to deal with the right security tools to present the right findings.
The benefits:
- Remediation time is decreased to 15 minutes, in contrast to more than a couple of hours
- Developers get feedback on the spot which minimizes errors in new code
- Get automated security feedback in the pipeline
