A vulnerability is software before it is an incident.
A vulnerability starts as a line of code, an outdated dependency or an open configuration. At that point, fixing it costs little: it is a change like any other, made by whoever wrote that piece of code.
When the same vulnerability is discovered in production, it is no longer software but an incident, with urgency, exposure and a fix made by someone who may not know the code.
The difference between the two scenarios is when someone looked.
Find it while it is still software in development.
Security analysis happens inside the development pipeline, at the same pace code is written and integrated. It is not an audit that shows up at the end and hands back a report.
The five fronts look at different layers of the same application: open source dependencies, source code, the running application seen from the inside and from the outside, and the mobile app.
Findings go to the development team with enough context to become fixes. A list of vulnerabilities with no owner does not reduce risk.
Capabilities that can compose the delivery, based on the application's profile.
- SCA · open source dependencies and licenses
- SAST · static source code analysis
- IAST · interactive runtime analysis
- DAST · dynamic testing of the running application
- MAST · mobile application security
- Remediation with the development team
Security is not a phase. It is part of how software is written.
Before it becomes an incident
Analyzing code while it is in development is what separates a cheap fix from an incident response.
Five views of the same application
Dependencies, source code, runtime from the inside, runtime from the outside and mobile reveal different risks. A single front leaves a blind spot.
Findings with an owner
Analysis results go back to whoever writes the code, with context to fix them. A report with no one responsible does not change the risk.
