Application Security

Application security is the process of applying measures and controls to minimize risk stemming from vulnerabilities, loss of business (availability) or data exposure/leaks, due to challenges in the source code, third party libraries, infrastructure deployment or at the web/mobile front ends or API endpoints.

Applications over the past few years have evolved from monolithic, on-prem hosted apps to distributed and cloud native architectures. This move has opened the door to more agile deployments based on the continuous integration and continuous development methodology (CI/CD) which has provided a repeatable and automated process for the application lifecycle where security is a key component.

Organizations securing applications focus on some or all of these areas:

• Code Security
• Third Party Library (Supply chain security).
• Vulnerability Scanning
• Infrastructure as Code Security (IAC)
• Web & Mobile Applications

• During Application Development
  • Improve agility and streamline development processes by integrating steps that automate the security research or investigation tasks
• During Application Deployment
  • Integrate security controls within the CI/CD pipeline and add real time collaboration across multiple business owners in the organization
• Post Application Deployment
  • Improve time to resolution by automating the response and resolution of Web and API security alerts

• Integrate Torq with your code repository to automate security checks and to build interactive workflows that can interact with the code owner
• Add Torq as part of your CI/CD pipeline to perform automated checks or actions that interact with internal or external security tools and systems
• Create interactive workflows to automate and improve the efficiency and time to resolution during a security incident detected by web and API security solutions (e.g., WAAF, WAAP, Next Gen WAAF)
