Application and Software Security (AppSec)

We make security not an afterthought patch, but an integral part of your software development lifecycle (SDLC).

About the Service

In traditional security models, software is tested after it is developed, leading to costly fixes. Nectosec's AppSec approach integrates security into the process from the very first moment code is written (Shift Left). By adopting the DevSecOps culture, we ensure your developers acquire the habit of writing secure code.

We catch vulnerabilities before they go live by integrating Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), and Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tools into your CI/CD processes.

Key Components

  • Secure Code Analysis (SAST): Early detection of errors through static analysis of your code (Fortify, Checkmarx, SonarQube).
  • Dynamic Application Testing (DAST): Attack simulations performed externally while the application is running.
  • Software Composition Analysis (SCA): Tracking known vulnerabilities (CVE) in third-party libraries you use.
  • Container Security: Scanning your Docker images and Kubernetes configurations.

Why DevSecOps?

You don't have to choose between speed and security. With automated security tests, you can produce much safer products without affecting your software delivery times (Time-to-Market).
