Application security

Application security

Traditionally, organizations have focused their information and cybersecurity efforts on protecting the infrastructure backbone, performing application security testing late in the development or acquisition process. But now that continuous delivery is becoming the prevalent way of working, fixing vulnerabilities late in the lifecycle leads to much higher IT spending and business value opportunity cost.

By leveraging Deloitte services for application security, we can help you identify and address risks in early stages of the development or acquisition lifecycle. We help your teams with a range of static and dynamic application security testing tools (including recognized market leaders) that integrate seamlessly into your SDLC. And, our manual analysis ensures that all reported risks are accurate and articulated in an understandable way.

We also help organizations adapt their governance, culture and skills to embed security into development processes, including agile, waterfall or DevSecOps, applying the following methods and tools to build and test application security:

• Threat modeling
• Security design review
• Security application controls
• Manual source code review
• Static application security testing (SAST)
• Dynamic application security testing (DAST)
• Penetration testing
• Integration of toolchains for software developers

We also provide tailored training and workshops to SDLC stakeholders (e.g., application developers, security analysts or managers, architects, etc.) to foster industry-leading practices in secure software development.
