Our consulting-related services include secure design and architecture, proper adoption of cryptography, and implementation of a secure SDLC programme inside your company. We can also help you with other miscellaneous activities such as interviewing and selecting the right candidates for security-related positions.
Security is not something you add at end, after an application is built. It is a property of the software, similar to fault-tolerance, user-friendliness or scalability, and therefore it must be present in the software development lifecycle (SDLC) right from the start.
Many times, securing an application implies adopting cryptography in one way or another. Sometimes this has to do with proper use of existing crypto primitives (i.e. for generating random numbers, hashing, encryption, message authentication codes, digital signatures) when building your application. Other times this has to do with proper configuration of protocols and frameworks (i.e. configuration of a web application to use TLS with proper cipher suites).
In order to build and run secure applications, different activities are carried out in different stages of the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and in production. We can help you define and implement those activities, from security requirements and threat analysis, to security architecture and design reviews, to code review and penetration testing, to security operations and bug bounty programs.
