Application Security Assessments An Adversarial Perspective of Applications Challenges Our Approach Types of Assessments Optiv Expertise Related Insights Contact Us What are Some AppSec Security Challenges? Software vulnerabilities. They’re still a huge target for attackers. Even after leveraging regular testing, code reviews and the best scanning tools, your security team may still be struggling to find and remediate vulnerabilities. And this puts your organization at risk. You probably: Have too many applications and APIs and may not even know what they all are or if they meet compliance standards Have application developers who aren’t security professionals, which means that security for applications is not their priority Have limited security staff who aren’t well-versed in application security or able to keep up with the volume of testing needed Vulnerabilities in applications are among the most significant and elusive threats because many issues are the result of an application’s logic and design and aren’t readily identified by automated scanning software programs. Optiv can help you identify these vulnerabilities with our real-world adversarial tactics and techniques.
