Phase I
Requirements and Design

Requirements and Design Phase:
Security requirements and design decisions
  • Threat Modeling: Identify potential threats and attack vectors based on the application’s architecture and design.
  • Security Architecture Review: Assess the design for security flaws and weaknesses.
  • Secure Code Review: Review code snippets or design documents for security issues.
  • Common Vulnerabilities: Inadequate authentication mechanisms, improper access controls, data leakage risks.

Phase II
Development Phase

Development Phase: Actual coding
  • Static Analysis: Analyze the source code for security vulnerabilities using automated tools.
  • Code Review: Manually review code for security issues that automated tools might miss.
  • Security Unit Testing: Developers write unit tests that specifically target security aspects.
  • Common Vulnerabilities: Injection attacks (SQL, XSS, etc.), insecure API usage, cryptography weaknesses.

Phase III
Testing Phase

Testing Phase: Functional testing, integration testing, and various testing activities
  • Dynamic Analysis: Test the running application for security vulnerabilities using tools that simulate attacks.
  • Manual Testing: Perform manual penetration testing to find vulnerabilities that automated tools might not detect.
  • Input Validation Testing: Test the application with malicious inputs to identify vulnerabilities.
  • Common Vulnerabilities: XSS, Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), broken authentication, sensitive data exposure.

Phase IV
Deployment Phase

Deployment Phase: Prior to application deployment, pentesting ensures that the environment is secure and ready for production
  • Configuration Review: Assess the server and application configurations for security weaknesses.
  • Network Security Testing: Evaluate network-level security controls and firewalls.
  • Common Vulnerabilities: Weak configurations, unnecessary open ports, insufficient network security.

Phase V: Maintenance

Maintenance Phase: After deployment, pentesting is crucial to catch vulnerabilities introduced by updates or changes
  • Patch Testing: Test security patches or updates for potential regressions or new vulnerabilities
  • Recurring Penetration Testing: Conduct periodic assessments to identify new vulnerabilities
  • Common Vulnerabilities: Unpatched vulnerabilities, security misconfigurations due to updates

Secure Code Repository Pentesting

In DevOps, integrating source code repositories with CI/CD pipelines underscores the importance of secure code repository penetration testing. BreachLock identifies and mitigates vulnerabilities to ensure the secure tracking of code changes.

Secure Code Repository Vulnerabilities

Weak Access Controls

Lack of Encryption

Insecure Authentication

Code Tampering

Lack of Auditing

Secure Code Review Pentesting

BreachLock secure code review penetration testing analyzes the source code of an application to identify vulnerabilities and security weaknesses.  Both secure code repositories and secure code review contribute to a comprehensive approach to software security.

Secure Code Review Vulnerabilities

Injection Vulnerabilities

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

Broken Access Controls

Insecure Deserialization

Cryptographic Issues

Code Quality Issues

Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)

BreachLock DAST is a black box pentesting method with a running instance of an application. To identify vulnerabilities various inputs are sent and responses are analyzed typically later in the software development lifecycle, after an applications is deployed and running in a testing or production environment.

Reporting

Setting up team workflows is important to remediating security risks fast. Your team’s workflow integrations are the keys to accelerating security validation and compliance-ready results you need for your final reports. Triaging remediation actions with DevOps is seamless using BreachLock’s API integrations for ticketing and communication in Jira, Slack, Okta, and Trello.
