Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
Many vulnerabilities are introduced during development. SAST analyzes source code early to catch issues before the application runs.
- Scans source code and binaries for known patterns
- Works during coding and build stages
- Detects SQL injection, hardcoded credentials, etc.
- Integrates into IDEs and CI/CD pipelines
- Supports multiple programming languages
SAST helps developers find and fix security issues at the code level — before they reach production.
Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)
Even well-written apps can behave insecurely under real-world conditions. DAST simulates attacks on running applications to identify flaws.
- Tests applications from the outside, like an attacker
- Identifies input validation, session handling, and logic flaws
- Works without access to source code
- Integrates with staging and QA environments
- Generates detailed reports and remediation guidance
DAST provides a real-time view of how applications respond to attacks — uncovering issues missed during development.
Software Composition Analysis (SCA)
Modern applications rely heavily on third-party libraries. If those components are outdated or vulnerable, the whole application is at risk.
- Identifies open source components and dependencies
- Flags known vulnerabilities (CVEs)
- Tracks license compliance and risks
- Alerts on new issues in existing software
- Integrates into build and CI/CD pipelines
SCA helps manage the risk introduced by third-party code and ensures visibility over what’s running inside your applications.
Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP)
Applications can’t always be patched quickly. RASP adds protection by detecting and stopping attacks as they happen.
- Monitors app behavior during execution
- Blocks known exploits in real time
- No need for external security tools
- Protects against SQL injection, XSS, and more
- Provides telemetry for incident response
RASP is built into the app and adds an extra layer of defense that reacts instantly to abnormal behavior.
API Security
APIs often expose backend systems directly and are a frequent target for attackers. Proper protection is critical.
- Discovers and catalogs exposed APIs
- Validates input and enforces authentication
- Detects misuse or abnormal API calls
- Prevents data exposure and abuse
- Works with modern frameworks (REST, GraphQL, gRPC)
API security ensures that machine-to-machine communication is safe, authenticated, and monitored.
DevSecOps Enablement
Security must be part of development — not an afterthought. DevSecOps embeds security into every phase of the software lifecycle.
- Integrates security tools into CI/CD workflows
- Automates code scanning, testing, and compliance checks
- Enables collaboration between Dev, Sec, and Ops teams
- Provides visibility into vulnerabilities and risks
- Reduces time to fix and improves release quality
DevSecOps promotes a culture where developers and security work together — speeding up delivery without compromising protection.
Application Threat Modeling
Design decisions can introduce risk before a single line of code is written. Threat modeling anticipates these risks early.
- Identifies potential attack vectors in app architecture
- Uses structured frameworks (e.g. STRIDE, DFD)
- Documents security assumptions and mitigations
- Helps prioritize security investments
- Fits into design and planning stages
Threat modeling supports secure application design by helping teams think like attackers before anything is built.
