Application Security Advisory Services Identify People, Processes and Technology That Can Accelerate and Mature Your AppSec Program Overview AppSec Solution Optiv Advantage AppSec Services Related Insights Contact Us Unseen Application Vulnerabilities Might Be Costing You Even as software vulnerabilities grow in popularity as attack vectors, businesses struggle to secure their applications. Newer and more complex apps are released every day – web apps, APIs, mobile apps, client-server apps – making it that much harder to find and fix the growing volume of vulnerabilities. Consequently, it has never been more important to ensure your applications are secure and trustworthy. The security of your software supply chain (conceptually the collection of first-party code, third-party and open source libraries, developer tools and processes, containers, cloud configurations, and much more) is paramount for protecting your business. The people, tooling, and processes used to develop, build and publish software must be hardened to withstand modern application attacks, including those aimed at the software supply chain. The complexities of selecting trustworthy software components, managing vulnerabilities, detecting malicious open-source packages, generating and scanning software bills of materials, and code signing make this task quite challenging. Yet, many organizations lack a formal application security program and do little more than the occasional scan of their software to secure their growing application environment. Even with the best scanning tools, it’s not enough to prevent expensive breaches or steep fines and costly litigation from non-compliance. Optiv can help. Our application security experts meet you where you are to understand your current AppSec program, development practices and the effectiveness of your software development lifecycle (SDLC) frameworks so we can design a holistic application security program together. Then, working with your AppSec stakeholders, we’ll identify people, processes or technology that can be effectively deployed, create a secure baseline and chart a maturity roadmap customized for your organization’s unique requirements. A Robust Application Security Program = Peace of Mind Image Reduce security risks by designing an AppSec program that secures your applications by design and meets compliance requirements Enjoy peace of mind knowing that your AppSec program is protecting your internally developed and third-party applications from exploitable vulnerabilities Leverage people and automation to identify, triage and address vulnerabilities. The Optiv AppSec Advisory Services Advantage Optiv will meet you where you are in your AppSec journey, no matter where that is. Our AppSec Advisory Services are designed to help you bring it all together and focus your efforts where they’re most important, whether that’s through threat modeling, hardening your software development lifecycle (SDLC), optimally configuring your technology stack or winning executive buy-in. Optiv’s AppSec Advisory Services are all about understanding where you have opportunities to improve your AppSec program and providing the tools and expertise you need to address them. Not sure where to start in your AppSec program strategy? You know where you want to be in your AppSec program, but you’d like a hand getting there. Not sure where to start in your AppSec program strategy? We can assess your AppSec program manually or with automated tools from top to bottom. Either way, you get the Optiv “secret sauce” that provides you with insights others can’t, so you can be sure you have the right technologies and processes in place. Image You know where you want to be in your AppSec program, but you’d like a hand getting there. Optiv has your back. Security technologies more like a jumble than a stack? We can help you configure them, so you have everything you need and nothing you don’t. SDLC not quite as secure as you’d like? We can teach your developers how to address vulnerabilities before they can become incidents. Struggling to understand the threats your organization is facing? We’ll help you model threats and understand which areas are riskier than others so you can focus your time and efforts where they’ll have the most impact. Image AppSec Advisory Services Secure SDLC Looking for a way to quantify how well your application security program protects sensitive data, defends against modern attacks, or meets regulatory requirements (NIST, PCI, HIPAA, NYDFS)? Are you seeking to align your development processes with your overall security strategy, while considering your capabilities, constraints, and budget? Are you struggling with other issues like developer buy-in or tool adoption? Optiv’s Secure SDLC services can help. First, we take an interview-driven approach to understand your level of security maturity within your software development processes. Then our AppSec experts work with you to analyze your security posture and identify opportunities for improvement relative to your people, processes and technologies. We’ll provide you with an actionable roadmap to reduce risk and achieve your objectives. Should you need assistance with building out pieces of your program, our experts can help with that too. Common program initiatives we develop include developer security training, security champions, governance, tool implementations, threat modeling, and security testing. Download the Service Brief Threat Modeling You can’t defend against what you can’t see. Our threat modeling methodology examines an application and its runtime environment from the architecture level and user perspective to identify potential threats. We’ll develop detailed models that visualize existing security controls and threats specific to your application and the data it collects, stores, or transmits. Based on our threat analysis, we’ll also estimate the likelihood each threat could have against your systems or data. Accurate threat modeling can help identify architecture and design flaws early in the development process, saving you time and headaches down the line and drive more focused testing to validate application security controls. The Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) Optiv is a proud supporter of The Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) which is a nonprofit foundation that works to improve the security of software. Being a SAMM (Software Assurance Maturity Model) Practitioner in Application Security Assessments is of utmost importance in today's rapidly evolving digital landscape. As cyber threats continue to grow in sophistication and frequency, organizations are increasingly reliant on software applications for critical operations, making them susceptible to potential vulnerabilities and attacks. A SAMM Practitioner possesses specialized skills and knowledge in assessing and improving the security posture of these applications. By applying SAMM principles, they can systematically evaluate an organization's software security practices, identify weaknesses, and implement comprehensive security measures. This proactive approach ensures that potential security risks are addressed at each stage of the software development lifecycle, from design and coding to testing and deployment. Ultimately, being a SAMM Practitioner enables professionals to play a pivotal role in safeguarding sensitive data, protecting against cyber threats, and ensuring the resilience and reliability of applications, thus contributing significantly to an organization's overall security and reputation.
