How do you plan to manage application risk?

Application security risk is inherent in every organization that relies on software to run its business. Today’s applications control access to Personally Identifiable Information (PII), Personal Health Information (PHI) and financial data transactions, and have become the enterprise’s "new perimeter." With challenging economic times and a tightening risk and compliance environment, businesses are required to do more with less and need a better approach to secure their software and protect their business with existing budgets.

An application security policy is a critical component of an organization’s overall information management architecture, and ultimately plays an integral role in business continuity strategies. It is critical to have a top-down approach based on a well-stated framework in order to develop effective, enforceable policies. Unfortunately, that is not where most organizations are today – instead most are still communicating in silos and using ad hoc testing for application security control. This approach results in an inconsistent application security program, leaving companies at risk for failed audits and halted business operations due to a breach.

Setting Security Policy

With 75% of new attacks (CERT) and 80% of SANs Top 25 attacks targeting applications, it is not surprising that application security has risen to the top of the executive agenda. As an executive, you are concerned about technology risk management and you recognize that application risk management has to form a key part of your efforts. The steps below represent the four pillars of Veracode’s application risk management solution.

  • Step 1. Governance Model (Pick Your Policy): You cannot secure what you don’t know exists. The first step is to inventory your application portfolio and assign a security policy commensurate with the business value of your applications. Veracode’s application policy manager and governance workflow capability allow you to quickly inventory your application portfolio and either pick pre-built security policies driven by industry standards such as OWASP Top 10 or CWE/SANS Top 25 or internally built customized policies.

  • Step 2. Operating Controls (Analyze your apps): Once an organization understands what applications they have in their portfolio and how much they need to care about each, they can verify whether the security state of the application is in compliance with the security policy assigned to it in Step 1. This can be done by engaging a number of different testing techniques as the operating controls of your application security program. Veracode offers static, dynamic and manual analysis that can be performed against internally developed or third-party applications. Click here to learn more...
  • Step 3. Application Intelligence (Gain insight): Testing is a means to an end with the ultimate goal being to become smarter about the state of software security in your organization. Veracode offers the industry’s first and only application intelligence service, Veracode Analytics, which enables you to perform fine grained data analytics and querying as well as compare yourself against peers in the industry.

  • Step 4. Continuous Improvement (eLearning) By implementing a consistent and repeatable application risk management framework by following the steps above an organization can establish a cycle of continuous improvement. Veracode’s cloud-based contextual eLearning and developer training and certification facilitate just that. Click here to learn more...

Whether you source your business apps from internal development teams, open source, leveraging COTS or working with outsourcers, your exposure to security risks and vulnerabilities puts your customers and your bottom line at risk.

The security of your brand and your customer data will determine whether your applications are your greatest assets or potential liabilities.
