Overview
With networks becoming more secure, web application vulnerabilities inevitably attract attackers’ attention. The hackers devise techniques to exploit loopholes in your web apps, resulting in an exceed in attacks on the web application layer. For further risk mitigation, penetration testing must securely and regularly validate applications. Secure Code Review services are one of the most critical activities regarding securing applications.
The same should be performed in a perfect scenario of both – Automatic and Manual reviews, given that some errors identified by automatic review could be falsely positive in manual review.
To fix the vulnerabilities in the earlier stage of the SDLC process is lesser than in the later stage. Once the code is complete without identifying any flaw, finding problems is very tedious and time-consuming after the application is ready to move into production. Also, last-minute fixing may affect the program's full functionality, impacting deadlines set for the product release.
Cost is directly proportional to the effort required. The development costs with identified vulnerability in the production environment may also involve costs. It's worth it, because the costs associated with an attack can be much steeper.
Some compliance, such as PCI, makes it necessary to do a secure code review before launching the product. So an organization following complete SDLC has a better chance of being certified.
Secure code review removes most of the security flaws in the earlier phase, making it more secure than just doing black-box assessments. So there is less chance of the product being compromised, hence a lesser event of reputation damage.
