With the rapid expansion of application transformation from on-premises to cloud computing or hybrid environments, the rate of potential risks and security breaches has increased multiple fold. This transition also induces breaches across the application layer. Integrating security measures early in the software development lifecycle in conjunction with DevOps helps organizations reduce costs, identify and mitigate potential risks in the early stages, and minimize impact during production rollouts. Additionally, application security provides an element of security through the Shift-left DevOps process within application security.

Solution
Eastwards application security services help organizations establish a holistic security ecosystem by implementing the latest innovations and technological changes. We enhance the security within DevOps using automation, helping reduce false detections and ensuring rapid countermeasures. We follow a three-step process that begins with threat modeling, followed by vulnerability assessment and intrusion testing on the application attack surface across all the firm’s devices. We map the maturity curve on the current blueprint of the organization and help assess the areas of improvement in the organization’s security ecosystem. Eastwards helps design the application security governance framework and modify the existing application landscape to establish DevSecOps. Our security framework helps organizations implement collaboration, automation, and agility within DevOps lifecycle phases.

Threat Modeling
We help assess the digital landscape to identify potential risks and integrate security models within the design phases to shift left early in the SDLC process, which includes:

• Using the STRIDE, VAST, or PASTA methodologies to identify potential threats.
• Leveraging the DREAD model for severity ratings.
• Integrating threat model into the development lifecycle.

Software Composition Analysis
We help organizations manage open-source components and analyze threat patterns and vulnerabilities. Our service includes:

• Open-source governance.
• Integration of SCA (Software Composition Analysis).
• Software bill of materials (BOM).

Static & Dynamic Application Security Testing
We facilitate static development lifecycle testing with automated and comprehensive testing to shift left security. Our service includes:

• AST tool integration into the IDE and CD/CD pipeline.
• Mobile and API testing.
• False detection analysis.
• Intrusion testing.

Application Vulnerability Management
We help organizations draw the correlation between all vulnerabilities and automate and customize risk assessments, including:

• Vulnerability correlation
• De-duplication
• False positive analysis
• Dashboards and reporting

• Integrated agile methodology within the application security model. 
• Facilitates business scalability in the security validation process by mitigating manual inspection bottlenecks without compromising organizations’ data.
• Develop self-service by facilitating automated security inspections as part of the deployment pipeline.
• Maximized value at a lower cost for our clients without the need to invest and own offshore assets.
• Service delivered from a physically and logically secure (ISO 27001, SOC Type 2) facility.
• Accelerated maturity, improvement, and faster response to incidents.
