protect web and mobile applications from threats.

Application Security

Identifying every possible gap in web and mobile applications requires advanced solutions. As applications grow, new functions added, changes made - the opportunity for new security gaps increase. 

To protect against security vulnerabilities in applications organizations need a comprehensive testing approach - to test the entire portfolio and verify security compliance. This has to happen early, and continuously to prevent against the threat of new attacks. In most companies, attacks occur at the application layer.

In addition to internal application security testing tools, it's useful to have 3rd party penetration tests and security assessments done regularly.
