Application Security & Code Review

Our application security team embeds security into every phase of the software development lifecycle. We perform manual code reviews, automated static and dynamic analysis, API security testing, and threat modeling for web, mobile, and cloud-native applications.

Command view

What this service changes operationally

Glexia application security helps engineering teams ship faster without carrying hidden product risk. We combine threat modeling, secure SDLC design, manual testing, code review, API assessment, dependency risk, and CI/CD guardrails so security becomes part of delivery rather than a release blocker.

SDLC Embedded security

Security requirements, testing gates, ownership, and defect handling are integrated into product delivery workflows.

OWASP Risk-led testing

Applications, APIs, authentication, business logic, and data flows are reviewed against modern attack patterns.

CI/CD Preventive guardrails

Code, dependency, secrets, container, and infrastructure checks are tuned to reduce recurring production findings.

Operating model

How Glexia runs the service

The engagement is organized into clear delivery lanes so leaders can see what is being assessed, what is changing, and how progress is measured.

Threat modeling and design review

We work with product and engineering teams to identify abuse cases, trust boundaries, sensitive data paths, authorization models, and architectural risks before code reaches production.

Architecture, data-flow, and trust-boundary review
Authentication, authorization, tenancy, and abuse-case analysis
Security requirements written for product owners and engineers

Assessment and validation

Testing combines automated coverage with manual analysis so business logic, API authorization, session handling, data exposure, and exploitability are validated in context.

Web, mobile, API, and cloud-native application testing
Manual code review for high-risk components and sensitive workflows
SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets, container, and IaC signal triage

Developer enablement

Findings are translated into patterns engineering teams can reuse: secure coding guidance, pull request checks, backlog ownership, retesting, and lightweight education tied to real defects.

Remediation tickets with reproduction steps and acceptance criteria
Secure-by-default patterns for authentication, authorization, and logging
Developer workshops focused on the stack and defects in scope

Delivery path

From kickoff to measurable outcomes

01 Week 0

Scope product risk

Confirm applications, APIs, user roles, data sensitivity, environments, release windows, and engineering owners.

02 Week 1-2

Model and test attack paths

Review architecture, run automated checks, and manually test high-risk workflows, APIs, identity, and business logic.

03 Week 2-3

Prioritize remediation

Validate exploitability, write engineer-ready tickets, align fixes to release plans, and identify recurring pattern gaps.

04 Week 3-6

Operationalize AppSec

Tune CI/CD gates, document secure patterns, retest fixes, and establish product security metrics for leadership.

Service FAQ

Application Security & Code Review questions leaders ask

Short answers for scope, operating model, and implementation decisions before a formal engagement begins.

Do you test APIs and business logic?

Yes. API authorization, object-level access control, workflow abuse, tenancy separation, rate limits, input handling, and sensitive data exposure are core testing areas. Automated scanners rarely cover these well, so we validate them manually.

Can Glexia integrate AppSec into our CI/CD pipeline?

Yes. We tune SAST, SCA, secrets, container, IaC, and DAST checks around real risk and developer usability. The objective is to catch repeatable issues earlier while keeping false positives low enough for teams to trust the pipeline.

Will developers receive actionable remediation guidance?

Yes. Findings include business impact, reproduction steps, evidence, severity rationale, recommended fixes, and acceptance criteria. For high-risk patterns, we can run developer workshops and retest fixes before release.
