Static Secure Code Review Assessment

Secure code review is a method of security testing that analyzes an application's source code to find vulnerabilities without executing the program. This comprehensive analysis is performed using static analysis tools that apply predefined rules to detect potential vulnerabilities.

By not executing the code, Static Application Security Testing (SAST), or static analysis, analyzes source code to find security vulnerabilities that make your organization’s applications susceptible to attack. SAST scans an application before the code is compiled and is also known as white box testing. It can be integrated into the early stages of the development lifecycle, providing developers with immediate feedback on the security posture of their code.

Assessment

Secure code reviews are essential for ensuring compliance with industry regulations and standards such as PCI DSS v4, ISO 27001:2022, NIST v2, etc.., and guidelines set by central banks and regulatory bodies (e.g., Central Bank of Jordan, Central Bank of Iraq, UAE IA, SAMA, etc..).

Benefits

Early Detection of Vulnerabilities

Identifies security issues during the development phase, reducing the risk of breaches.

Allows for quick remediation of vulnerabilities, saving time and resources.

Compliance and Risk Management

Helps in meeting regulatory compliance requirements.

Reduces potential legal and financial risks associated with security breaches.

Cost-Effective

Fixing vulnerabilities early in the development lifecycle is significantly cheaper than addressing them post-deployment.

Improved Code Quality

Encourages best practices in coding, leading to overall better code quality and reduced technical debt.

Methodology

Static Application Security Testing (SAST) typically involves the following assessment methodology:

Source Code Analysis

Analyze the source code of an application without executing it. examine the code structure, logic, and dependencies to identify potential security vulnerabilities.

Code Scanning

Scans the entire codebase or specific portions of it, looking for patterns or coding practices that could lead to vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), buffer overflows, etc.

Rules-based Analysis

Use predefined rulesets to identify known vulnerabilities and security weaknesses. These rules cover common coding errors, insecure practices, and vulnerabilities documented in security standards and best practices.

Reporting and Remediation

After analyzing your code, ScanWave provides detailed reports highlighting identified vulnerabilities, their severity, and recommended remediation steps. These reports assist developers in addressing and resolving issues, ensuring the application is secure before deployment.

Assessment Reporting

CyberWave Platform provides a comprehensive report and dashboard, delivering complete insights for both management and technical teams.

The platform offers a detailed analysis of vulnerabilities identified during assessments, categorized according to international standards, helping the technical team fully understand the associated risks.

The dashboard highlights high-severity risks and security issues by consolidating data from multiple assessments.

This feature allows users to monitor developments, make informed decisions with current information, and quickly reflect the overall security landscape.
