Application
Web based commercial applications are recognised as one of the highest risk areas for accessing critical data.
With transactional business potentially accounting for vast percentages of revenue, any down time experienced by an organisation could result in huge financial losses.
One of the key issues faced when addressing application security is that traditionally, application developers have been employed to write functional code not necessarily secure code. Pentura enable you to adopt a Secure Application Lifecycle Management program allowing the Application Developers to write functional code whilst maintaining a good level of security.
Many clients find it difficult to recruit true application security specialists and therefore face some of the following challenges:
- Identifying a way of checking security through the development lifecycle of any application
- Staying up to date with the latest application based security vulnerabilities
- Providing the intelligence to the security team to understand application security
- Developing security policies specific to application development and deployment
As with all other Pentura focus areas, we offer a Risk Advisory Service that will identify risks and security vulnerabilities in your applications and assess the current toolset and challenges that you face. If issues are identified, a clear service or technology led strategy for remediation can be agreed to ensure short and long term security issues can be managed, reducing the risk that insecure applications pose to your organisation.
What our Clients are saying...
“We can now focus on our core business, safe in the knowledge that Pentura are on hand to offer advice and technical expertise when we need it.”
