DEVELOPMENT
Highly secure applications
Develop highly secure applications with the agility and speed that your organisation requires.
Organisations and companies have to be increasingly agile – their very survival depends on it. In terms of application development and deployment, long monolithic projects are a thing of the past. Instead, they have given way to a more iterative approach with improvements and updates every week, or even every day. But how can we ensure application security in a world where everything changes at lightning speed?

But how can we ensure application security in a world where everything changes at lightning speed?
A three-step approach
We offer a comprehensive three-step approach which secures applications throughout their life cycle, starting with the first lines of code, moving on to unit and integration tests, then to multiple deployments and use in production:
Static code analysis
We run a code analysis while the developer is writing it in the text editor, and we check that no security rules are being infringed.
This check supports the most commonly used programming languages and IDEs. When a rule is infringed, the developer is immediately notified and can access explanations about the source of the problem and tips on how to fix the code and thus strengthen security. That’s before the code is even published on a centralised repository.
As such, the security of the application is strengthened, and the developer gains experience and expertise.

01
Composition analysis
At present, 80% of the code base of applications is contained in open source libraries which are accessible on the internet. Every day, hundreds of new vulnerabilities are discovered in these libraries, jeopardising the security of the applications that depend on them.
Throughout an application’s life cycle, we carry out a composition analysis by discovering all of the libraries on which it is based, check their level of compromise and propose a list of versions that correct the security flaws.

02
Dynamic tests
We carry out dynamic security tests on applications during unit, integration and functional acceptance tests and when they are deployed in production.
By offering an integrated end-to-end solution and a single taxonomy for the entire test chain, we minimise time and resolution efforts without compromising quality or agility.
