For every enterprise, web and
Internet applications and possibilities are always changing. The
changes reflect evolving business objectives, new web opportunities,
improved efficiency, and many other circumstances.
Each change brings with it new
requirements for asset protection and application security. Assorted
combinations of custom, off-the-shelf, and open source components
need to be securely integrated and configured. All of this must
be accomplished within acceptable timeframes, advancing business
objectives without hindering development schedules.
As applications are developed,
Polar Cove Application Security Services works with clients to assess
each application component’s security mechanisms. These can
include source code data review, database architecture review, middleware
components, and operating system. The resulting application security
assessment prepares clients to meet the security needs that arise
from integrated, as well as from individual, applications.
Application Security Includes:
- Agreeing on the scope
of the security assessment project, including objectives and
timeframes.
- Reviewing the configuration
files and source code for web and internet application, operating
system, database, and middleware component within the scope
of the project.
- Evaluating security
controls of each component, including policy, organization,
personnel, asset classification and control, access mechanisms,
network and computer management, business continuity, and system
development and maintenance, as well as compliance.
- Auditing source code
in order to mitigate the security risks and associated liabilities
from either relying on or releasing insecure code.
Polar Cove Asset Assessment Service
provides clients with detailed reports about asset protection, database
security, web security and all aspects of selected enterprise applications.
Quantitative and qualitative reports evaluate risks. Recommendations
for short and long term improvements are developed in agreement
with each client. Polar Cove implementation plans reflect the necessities
of timeliness and business continuity.
