Software vulnerabilities are a major attack vector, but businesses continue to struggle to secure their applications. As apps become more numerous and complex – web apps, mobile apps, client-server apps, etc. – finding and fixing the growing volume of vulnerabilities just gets harder.

Security teams often aren’t clear about all the apps they’re supposed to be managing. And because software developers aren’t security professionals, security isn’t one of their top priorities. As a result, countless apps aren’t secure and fail to meet compliance requirements.

Without an effective approach to secure application development and management, you run the risk of breaches that can impact your company’s reputation and bottom line. You may also see inefficiencies internally that can create friction between your development and security teams and can continually impact your bottom line. Oh… you could also be looking at steep fines or costly litigation if your apps are non-compliant (this can also cost you long-term through damage to your reputation. No one wants that.)

Depending upon your specific requirements, Avaqor can provide both your security and development teams with application security testing, advisory and program development, and technology services. All services are delivered using a highly collaborative and consultative approach from inception to completion.

Even as software vulnerabilities grow in popularity as attack vectors, businesses struggle to secure their applications. Newer and more complex apps are released every day – web apps, APIs, mobile apps, client-server apps – making it that much harder to find and fix the growing volume of vulnerabilities.Consequently, it has never been more important to ensure your applications are secure and trustworthy. The security of your software supply chain (conceptually the collection of first-party code, third-party and open source libraries, developer tools and processes, containers, cloud configurations, and much more) is paramount for protecting your business. The people, tooling, and processes used to develop, build and publish software must be hardened to withstand modern application attacks, including those aimed at the software supply chain. The complexities of selecting trustworthy software components, managing vulnerabilities, detecting malicious open-source packages, generating and scanning software bills of materials, and code signing make this task quite challenging.

Yet, many organizations lack a formal application security program and do little more than the occasional scan of their software to secure their growing application environment. Even with the best scanning tools, it’s not enough to prevent expensive breaches or steep fines and costly litigation from non-compliance. can help. Our application security experts meet you where you are to understand your current AppSec program, development practices and the effectiveness of your software development lifecycle (SDLC) frameworks so we can design a holistic application security program together. Then, working with your AppSec stakeholders, we’ll identify people, processes or technology that can be effectively deployed, create a secure baseline and chart a maturity roadmap customized for your organization’s unique requirements.

Reduce security risks by designing an AppSec program that secures your applications by design and meets compliance requirements

Enjoy peace of mind knowing that your AppSec program is protecting your internally developed and third-party applications from exploitable vulnerabilities

Leverage people and automation to identify, triage and address vulnerabilities.

•Not sure where to start in your AppSec  program strategy?
•You know where you want to be in your AppSec program, but you’d like a hand getting there.th We can assess your AppSec program manually or with automated tools from top to bottom. Either way, you get the Avaqor “secret sauce” that provides you with insights others can’t, so you can be sure you have the right
technologies and processes in place.

Security technologies more like a  jumble than a stack? We can help you configure them, so you have everything you need and nothing you don’t. SDLC not quite as secure as you’d like? We can teach your developers  how to address vulnerabilities before they can become  incidents. Struggling to understand the threats your  organization is facing? We’ll help you model threats and understand which areas are riskier than others so you can focus your time and efforts where they’ll have the most

Avaqor is a proud supporter of The Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) which is a nonprofit foundation that works to improve the security of
software. Being a SAMM (Software Assurance Maturity Model) Practitioner in Application Security Assessments is of utmost importance in today’s rapidly evolving
digital landscape. As cyber threats continue to grow in sophistication and frequency, organizations are increasingly reliant on software applications for critical
operations, making them susceptible to potential vulnerabilities and attacks.
A SAMM Practitioner possesses specialized skills and knowledge in assessing and improving the security posture of these applications. By applying SAMM principles,
they can systematically evaluate an organization’s software security practices, identify weaknesses, and implement comprehensive security measures. This proactive
approach ensures that potential security risks are addressed at each stage of the software development lifecycle, from design and coding to testing and deployment.
Ultimately, being a SAMM Practitioner enables professionals to play a pivotal role in safeguarding sensitive data, protecting against cyber threats, and ensuring the
resilience and reliability of applications, thus contributing significantly to an organization’s overall security and reputation

You can’t defend against what you can’t see. Our threat modeling methodology examines an application and its runtime environment from the architecture level and user perspective to identify potential threats. We’ll develop detailed models that visualize existing security controls and threats specific to your application and the data it collects, stores, or transmits. Based on our threat analysis, we’ll also estimate the likelihood each threat could have against your systems or data. Accurate threat modeling can help identify architecture and design flaws early in the development process, saving you time and headaches down the line and drive more focused testing to validate application security controls.
