Secure SDLC Consulting

The focus of a traditional Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is on quickly developing feature-rich, efficient, and productive applications. Where does security fit into this picture?

We understand that projects and applications have complex backgrounds and reasonings behind certain builds. The pressure to quickly produce quality products often overshadows implementing detailed security practices into the process. We help teams identify where and how vulnerabilities have the potential of impacting your applications and software. In addition, we assist teams in adding the secure portion to the SDLC for future projects and applications.

Be A Part Of A Secure Software Development Life Cycle Process.

The Secure Software Development Life Cycle (Secure SDLC or SSDLC) incorporates security at every stage of software development. This methodology also includes the use of secure coding techniques. Security is not just a goal, but a core concept that is implemented into the blueprint and architecture of the software at each step.

Adding Security into the SDLC is imperative as it includes small and important features in the software. It’s determined on a continuous and constant basis by collaborations between developers, operations admins, and security engineers.

Treating Security As An Afterthought Is More Risky and Less Efficient.

By implementing and testing security throughout development, companies are able to allocate resources to future projects, rather than going back and fixing costly errors. Without security built-in from the project conception, there is a window of opportunity for cyber-criminals to breach an application's defenses.

Because defenders have limited time and resources in their pursuit of discovering vulnerabilities, hardening applications as much as possible during development is critical. Contrary to this, cyber-criminals often have unlimited time and tools to scan, probe, and penetrate an application in order to exploit it, needing only one security hole to succeed. Attackers often win in this scenario, which leaves businesses with the high risk of being subject to data breaches.

Secure Coding Practices Will Always Be Safer Than Patching Or Updating Security Upon Release

At Cypress Data Defense, our goal is to help your organization integrate security into all phases of software development. We begin the Secure Development Life Cycle process by educating developers and executives, while also raising security awareness within organizations. We perform threat modeling, write security abuse cases, and conduct security tests during the requirements and planning phases. We utilize automated security scanners during the development and verification phases.

We also build and utilize post-production security monitoring systems after release. In completing the feedback loop between development and operations, our work allows critical security information to become visible to everyone on the project team. The important takeaway is that every point in the SSDLC has security at its core, and every point in the development process creates a possibility - and opportunity - to find a critical flaw that a traditional SDLC may not discover until it is too late. Place the focus on security in all software development stages with our SDLC Consulting Services. Setup a free consultation with us today.
