Source Code Review

Protect Your Applications With Secure Code Review

What Is Secure Code Review?

Application-level security is under constant scrutiny. Applications are gradually becoming more interconnected, which means that one application’s vulnerabilities can lead to other applications being exploited.

Critical business applications are often a potential target for cyberattacks because they host a lot of valuable information. Hence, secure code review is important as it provides developers better insight into the security flaws and ensures that the application code is secure.

Secure code review is the process of auditing and finding weak security controls in the source code of an application and remediating them. Areas of controls that a code reviewer covers are authentication, authorization, session management, error handling, encryption, logging, and data validation.

What Do You Mean by a Secured Program?

A secured program is built on software that keeps the program protected from various cyber vulnerabilities and attacks.

Why Do You Need a Secure Code Review?

All software or applications contain risks and vulnerabilities to a certain degree. Attackers are always on the lookout to exploit any vulnerability in an application. Applications that host important business data such as personal and confidential information are especially appealing to attackers.

By performing secure code review, security flaws can be identified and remediated in the last phase of the development process. In other words, it acts as a final review to ensure that your code is secure and your application is ready to go.

Whom Needs It?

  • It is mandatory for industries, such as healthcare and payment processing, to perform source code review as part of the compliance requirement
  • It is for organizations that understand that secure code review is an integral part of the security process before an application is released
