Secure Design, Architecture & Development
Research suggests that it costs 25-100 times more to fix an error after deployment than if it is detected in the architecture stage. Hence, security must be addressed in the requirement and design phase itself. Failure to address security in the design phase could result in a host of security vulnerabilities that may go unaccounted for until it is too late.

Aujas’ Application Architecture & Design Review services check if all the security elements have been considered during the design phase and provide the necessary feedback for the architects to adjust the design as necessary for maximum security and privacy. In addition, we validate the application design for certain areas like authentication, authorization, session management, cryptographic storage etc. and help you minimize risk.

Activities

• Threat modeling
• In-depth software design inspection
• In-depth software architecture inspection

Secure Development
Writing secure code is an essential part of secure software development. Traditionally, software applications are developed from a functionality perspective. A developer’s unintentional ignorance of known vulnerabilities and insecure coding practices can generate a security flaw in the software application. As a result, special emphasis should be placed on security during the development phase.

Aujas Secure Development service helps organizations incorporate the proper and adequate configuration of software security controls in the development lifecycle and improve the security quality of the software application.

Activities

• Peer code review/Pair programming
• Secure coding guidelines
• Secure software implementation
