Source Code Review
We help you to
- Review your source code for underlying vulnerabilities
- Enhance code quality and maintainability
What is Source Code Review
A security assessment technique that involves analyzing the source code of an application to identify potential vulnerabilities and weaknesses. Unlike traditional penetration testing which focuses on the deployed application, source code review examines the code itself, acting like a security review from the perspective of a malicious attacker.
Source Code Review Involves:
- Analyzing the code for common vulnerabilities: This includes looking for coding errors, insecure coding practices, and known vulnerabilities specific to the programming language used.
- Understanding the application's logic and functionality: This helps identify potential weaknesses in how the application handles user input, data processing, and authorization.
- Simulating attacker techniques: Testers may attempt to exploit identified vulnerabilities using techniques similar to those used by real attackers.
Why Source Code Review is required?
Detect underlying threats
Our source code review service meticulously examines your codebase to uncover potential vulnerabilities that could expose sensitive data and compromise system integrity. We equip you with the knowledge and guidance to address these vulnerabilities early in the development lifecycle, ensuring your environment remains resilient against evolving threats.
Proactive defense
Source code review acts as a proactive security measure, identifying and addressing vulnerabilities before they are deployed to production. This saves time and resources compared to fixing them later when they might cause costly downtime or security breaches.
Ensure Compliance
Enterprise must adhere to the regulatory frameworks like HIPPA, GDPR, PCI-DSS, and others which necessitate compliance with specific requirements. Penetration testing plays a crucial role in upholding the necessary security controls mandated by such regulations, ensuring your organisation remains compliant.
Assurance to stakeholders
uncovering weaknesses in areas like user input validation, authorization, and data handling, source code review helps mitigate potential security risks. This strengthens the overall security posture of the application, making it less susceptible to attacks.
FAQ
01
What types of vulnerabilities do you identify during a review?
Critical vulnerabilities like SQL injection, Cross site scripting, vulnerable components, etc. are detected along with any logic errors and bugs.
02
How long does it take for cloud penetration test?
The duration of cloud Penetration Test may fluctuate based on the complexity of the infrastructure under examination and the extent of the assessment.
03
What types of code can you review?
We have experience reviewing code written in various programming languages, including popular choices like Java, Python, JavaScript, C++, and PHP. If you're unsure if we support your specific language, please contact us for clarification.
04
What information do I need to provide for the review?
In addition to your codebase, depending on the complexity of your project, we might require additional information such as:
- System architecture diagrams
- Access control and authorization models
- Security requirements and compliance needs
- Any specific concerns or areas you want the review to focus on
