Secure Code Review

Secure your code, ship with confidence

Save time and resources by discovering weaknesses in your code before you go to production with secure code review.

OVERVIEW

Early detection and reduction of vulnerabilities with Secure Code Review

Secure code review provides human-led analysis of source code to identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities throughout the software development lifecycle. Leveraging an OWASP-driven methodology, secure code review combines the precision of automated tools with the nuanced insights of human expertise to effectively identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.
CHALLENGES

Is fixing vulnerabilities after deployment slowing you down?

Ensure quality at speed

Software engineers work in a fast-paced, agile environment that requires them to work quickly.

Detect vulnerabilities sooner

Many vulnerabilities go unnoticed until the late stages of development or post-development.

Cost-savings

Fixing a vulnerability post-deployment costs 100x more than remediating the issue during development.
BENEFITS

Dig deep into your codebase

Source code scanning
Cobalt leverages Static Application Security Testing (SAST) and Software Composition Analysis (SCA) to perform a full automated scan of the code base and identify vulnerabilities across the application.
Manual secure code review
Cobalt reviews the output of the automated scanners and uses the source code, context awareness, and human insight to validate the automated findings. With this, we help identify exploitable flaws in the business logic and validate the findings.
OWASP-Driven Methodology
Our team of trusted security experts use industry best practices to conduct secure code reviews. By applying the leading OWASP Secure Coding Guidelines, we help ensure comprehensive testing, identifying and addressing critical design flaws in source code.
VULNERABILITY TYPES
testing-15-icon
SQL injection


Attackers exploit vulnerable database queries, potentially gaining unauthorized access to sensitive data, modifying records, or even executing arbitrary commands on the database server.

testing-13-icon
Cross-site scripting


By injecting malicious scripts into web applications, attackers can target other users' browsers, stealing session cookies, defacing websites, or redirecting them to malicious sites.

tech-48_icon-1
Authentication flaws


Weaknesses in login mechanisms, session management, or password handling can allow attackers to bypass security controls, impersonate legitimate users, and gain unauthorized access to accounts and functionalities.

testing-6_icon-1
Business logic flaws


These vulnerabilities arise from errors or oversights in the application's design and intended behavior, leading to unexpected and potentially harmful actions, such as bypassing payment processes or data manipulation.

OUR APPROACH

An early checkpoint for your codebase

Our experts combine automated tools with manual review of business logic to shine the light on issues sooner.

  • Give pentesters the context they need to dig deeper into your codebase and provide even more coverage.
  • Evaluate complex business logic and context, and detect new or zero-day vulnerabilities that SAST tools might miss.
  • Work collaboratively with our experts from planning through to reporting, improving security awareness within dev teams.
  • Combine a secure code review with a pentest to validate findings.
