How Security can be added in Agile methodology to build highly secure application with more accurate, exhaustive and cost-effective code analysis?

SAST, or Static Application Security Testing, otherwise called "white box testing" has been around for over 10 years. It enables the engineers to discover security vulnerabilities in the application source code prior to the product improvement life cycle.
Source code analysis is a top priority for enterprises as they are in constant threat from malicious attacks. It becomes crucial to review the internally developed as well as third party software before it is purchased, so that enterprises can identify and fix vulnerabilities before the applications are deployed.
SecureLayer7 source code analysis relies on a combination of extensive market research and predefined security principles to pinpoint the security bug in the source code. The predefined principles help enterprises to identify common programming flaws like anti-patterns, logic errors, memory leaks, workflow flaws, and so on. In addition to these, SecureLayer7 uses SAST automated tools to scan an application code for flaws which give us security vulnerabilities while the code is in a static/non-running state. This effective and comprehensive approach to Source Code Analysis helps developers to remediate issues in the early stage of SDLC.

We have passion for securing Digital Businesses of our customers to make sure they are secure from critical vulnerabilities.
After using SL7 in a previous company, we contracted with them for Vulnerability Assessment for all of our various product lines, from consumer to enterprise. The results have been awesome
- Chief Security Architect in the Services IndustryIt offers incomparable accuracy since it is reinforced by unproved scanning and advanced network host correlation technology. The organizations are confident that their remediation exertions are closely focused.
- Cyber Security Consultant in the Services IndustrySecureLayer7's team went deep down into the rabbit hole to understand the product and find an issue with a business logic rule that took engineering several weeks to analyze within the code.

Pre-engagement
A pre-engagement meeting is scheduled to get more detailed understanding of the application source code and discuss the prerequisites to successfully perform pentest.
Analysis and verification
We perform SCST and DCST analysis in which a thorough analysis and verification of the code is performed in order to check for any vulnerable code.
Reporting
An in-depth technical report is drafted based on the executed code audit test cases and analysis. It provides vulnerabilities details, mitigation steps, and proof of concepts.
Static Code Security Testing
In Static Code Analysis allows the security engineer to analyse code using scanners and tools to identify vulnerable code.
Dynamic Code Security Testing
In Dynamic Code Analysis the security expert to manually analysis the results of the tools and confirm the discoveries of code scanners results.
Reassessment
A re-assessment is carried out to verify if the identified vulnerabilities are successfully mitigated in the source code.
Benefits of Source Code Analysis with SecureLayer7
SecureLayer7’s Source Code Analysis ensures more accurate, precise and comprehensive security check to create secure applications.

Securelayer7 regularly uncovers Zero Day vulnerabilities within a wide range of applications amidst research. We cooperatively work alongside vendors to catch up with the issues and disclose the needed prudently.
Take a look at SecureLayer7's Security Vulnerability publications and know more about the vulnerability disclosures, advisories, and reports. It details the security gaps identified in the web application, thick client software and also firmware’s of large enterprises. The documentation also contains the mitigation fixes for the vulnerabilities, their description, moreover the proof of concepts and security exposure information from SecureLayer7.
