ervices overview

What is Security Code Review?

Fanan’s Security Code Review is a thorough examination of your application’s source code to identify security vulnerabilities, improper coding practices. At Fanan, our approach to security code review is distinguished by the expertise and thoroughness we bring to each project. Our team, composed of seasoned security professionals, employs a balanced mix of advanced automated tools and meticulous manual inspection. Our approach is aligned with leading security standards such as OWASP, ensuring that our reviews and recommendations are both comprehensive and current with global best practices.

Beyond mere detection, Fanan stands out for its commitment to proactive security enhancement. We don’t just pinpoint existing problems; we provide detailed guidance and recommendations for best coding practices. This advice is tailored to your specific needs and is designed to fortify your application against future vulnerabilities. Our aim is to equip your developers with the knowledge and tools they need to maintain and enhance the security of your software, ensuring long-term protection and resilience in an ever-evolving digital landscape.

Evolving Cyber Threat Landscape

Why Should You Perform Application Security Code Review?

Adapting to Advanced Threats: Essential for adapting to sophisticated cyber threats, security code reviews strengthen applications against new hacking techniques and vulnerabilities.
Adapts to Emerging Technologies and Practices: Regular reviews ensure the application’s security evolves with new technologies and practices, maintaining robust defenses in a rapidly changing tech landscape.
Early Vulnerability Detection: Security code reviews catch vulnerabilities early, reducing exploit risks by addressing flaws before they become ingrained in the code, enhancing the application’s security from the start.
Ensuring Compliance with Evolving Standards: Regular reviews are key to keeping applications in line with the latest cybersecurity standards and legal regulations, ensuring ongoing compliance.
Security Best Practices Integration: Integrating secure coding practices from the outset through reviews establishes a strong security foundation, preventing common vulnerabilities and embedding security into the software development lifecycle.
Reduces Cost of Late Fixes: Identifying and resolving security issues during development, rather than post-deployment, significantly cuts costs associated with late-stage fixes, rework, and potential operational disruptions.

Detects flaws, enhances application security.

How Does Security Code Review Secure Application?

Improved Application Security: Address vulnerabilities at the application-level, ensuring robust security mechanisms.
Regulatory Adherence: Ensure your codebase aligns with industry standards and best practices.

Enhanced Code Quality: The review process can also enhance the overall quality and efficiency of your code.
User Assurance: Reinforce the trust users place in your application by ensuring its security.
Cost-Effective Strategy: Address vulnerabilities early, preventing potential costly breaches and subsequent reparations.

Code quality, security vulnerabilities, compliance.

What Will be Assessed During A Security Code Review?

Business Logic: Deep dive into the application’s logic, identifying potential flaws or vulnerabilities that could be exploited.

Authentication Mechanisms: Examination of authentication processes and protocols. This includes checks for weak password policies, hardcoded credentials, and other potential pitfalls.
Code Injection Points: Scrutinize potential areas susceptible to injections, such as SQL, OS Commands, and more, ensuring they are fortified against such attacks.
Client-side Vulnerabilities: Comprehensive analysis of client-side codes, highlighting vulnerabilities like Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF).
Third-party Components: Thorough evaluation of integrated third-party components, libraries, and modules for potential vulnerabilities they might introduce into the application.
And More: Including session management vulnerabilities, insecure data storage or transfer points, weaknesses in cryptographic protocols, and potential backdoors or logic bombs.

Bridging the Security Gap

The Main Obstacles to Writing Secure Code

Expertise in Security Tools: Security tools require specialized expertise to use efficiently
Misplaced Reliance on Firewalls: Firewalls are often misinterpreted as sufficient to block threats
Lack of QA Involvement: Quality assurance teams are often not involved at this level
Developer Training Gaps: Most developers are not trained specifically to write secure code
Knowledge Gap in Standards: Top standards and best practices are often unknown to dev teams
