Application vulnerabilities can lead to service disruption, unintentional
information disclosure, and system compromise. Secure coding techniques and
procedural best practices supporting security throughout the Software
Development Life Cycle (SDLC) can help to protect mission critical applications
and service offerings to ensure organizational goals. Though common
vulnerabilities are well documented as found in the OWASP Top 10 Project, SANS
CWE Top 25, and CERT Secure Coding Standards among other sources; application
security concerns remain a prominent threat vector. With Ponemon Institute 2009
United States study of data breach costs indicating an estimated loss of $204
per compromised record, taking reasonable precautions and adhering to industry
best practices is vital to application security.
Fortrex application security services include in depth analysis and code review
