Customer Challenges We Help With
Non-secure deployments cause a delay in delivery and result in a longer time to market
 |
What you get?
|
Insecure deployments not only lead to delays in the delivery process but also result in extended time to market. These security vulnerabilities, if not discovered at the early stage and addressed proactively, can introduce significant risks and potential setbacks into the overall development timeline.
The high cost of failures and security issues found in production
 |
What you get?
|
Data breaches cost millions of dollars.
The high cost of failures and security issues identified in production can be detrimental to an organization’s bottom line and reputation. These issues often require emergency fixes, which can disrupt operations, lead to unplanned downtime, and result in additional expenses for incident response and recovery efforts. Moreover, the impact on customer trust and brand reputation can be long-lasting, potentially causing a loss of customers and revenue. To mitigate these risks and reduce costs, organizations are increasingly focusing on implementing robust security measures and comprehensive testing throughout the software development lifecycle to catch and resolve issues earlier in the process. This proactive approach not only helps prevent costly production failures but also contributes to a more secure and reliable software environment.
Lack of in-house expertise, knowledge, and skills around security
 |
What you get?

Why is Security Testing Important?
Continuous security testing helps to enable end-to-end security and protect against data breaches, cyberattacks, and unauthorized access to sensitive information. Without a proper level of protection, a company can lose a lot of money and customer trust due to security breaches. Instead of fixing issues found in production, companies can save time and money detecting and remediating security issues as they occur and preventing them in production. The later a vulnerability is found, the more costly it will be.
Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
SAST
Static Application Security Testing (SAST) is a type of security testing performed on the source code or compiled version of an application to identify potential security vulnerabilities and coding errors, like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and authentication flaws, allowing developers to fix them early.
Software Composition Analysis (SCA)
SCA
Software Composition Analysis (SCA) is the analysis of open-source components and libraries, examining an application’s dependencies, detecting outdated or insecure components, and providing actionable insights to remediate the identified issues. This is crucial because many security breaches result from exploiting vulnerabilities in third-party components.
Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)
DAST
Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) is a testing technique that evaluates the security of an application by interacting with it dynamically. It assesses the application while it is running to identify vulnerabilities and potential security weaknesses in real time.
Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST)
IAST
Interactive Application Security Testing is a technique that combines elements of both Static Application Security Testing (SAST) and Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST).
In addition to the integration of security scanning tools, you can also conduct regular penetration testing events, which IBA Group provides as an additional service to evaluate and enhance your application security.
How Can Our Service Benefit Your Business?
Ensuring business continuity
Security measures integrated into DevOps processes help to prevent incidents and reduce risks of disruptions. This ensures that your business operations continue to run smoothly.
Improving code quality
Static analysis tools review the source code for security issues before the application is deployed. This analysis identifies vulnerabilities like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and authentication flaws, allowing developers to fix them early.
Improving application security
The integration of security tools into the development and deployment process plays a crucial role in improving application security by identifying vulnerabilities, automating security checks, and providing actionable insights for remediation. This “shift left” approach catches security issues early in the development lifecycle, making them easier and cheaper to fix.
Improve infrastructure security and management
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) helps to manage infrastructure through automation and enables a greater level of scalability and efficiency, but it may contain also errors in configuration and bring additional security gaps. The integration of IaC security scanning tools into CI/CD helps to detect and remediate errors and misconfiguration in infrastructure prior to code reaching production.
Reduce risks
Comprehensive scans of applications, networks, and systems are performed regularly through the integration of security testing tools. These test various layers and components for vulnerabilities, helping to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in software and systems during testing and before malicious actors in production can exploit them.
Build trust
A dedicated focus on security practices increases confidence in the organization’s commitment to delivering secure and trustworthy software products, helping to build trust with stakeholders, retaining customers, attracting new ones, and fostering long-term relationships.Assisting organizations in any industry to embed security practices in the software development life cycle and enable the rapid development of secure applications
