Code Review
is a cybersecurity service which OyaSecurity specialises in. Thorough meticulous code reviews are a crucial element in strengthening the digital defenses of an organisation. Our code review process is designed to scrutinise and analyse software code with precision, identifying vulnerabilities, weaknesses, and potential security loopholes. By conducting comprehensive code reviews, organisations benefit from several crucial advantages. Firstly, it allows for the early detection of security flaws in the code, ensuring that these issues are addressed before deployment, thereby significantly reducing the risk of exploitation and drastically lowering the costs to rectify. Secondly, code reviews enhance overall code quality by fostering best practices, adherence to coding standards, and optimisation of performance. Thirdly, this process provides a valuable opportunity for knowledge sharing and skill enhancement within the development team, nurturing a culture of security consciousness and collective responsibility. Ultimately, leveraging our code review services ensures that your software is fortified against potential cybersecurity threats, boosting reliability, and enhancing the overall security posture of your digital infrastructure.
Features include:
Secure Development Lifecycle: Evaluates whether the organization follows a secure software development lifecycle (SDLC) and incorporates security from the early stages of development.
Static and Dynamic Analysis:
Utilises both static analysis (review of the code without execution) and dynamic analysis (testing code in runtime). Identifies issues like injection flaws, improper authentication, and insecure data handling.
Secure Coding Practices:
Evaluates adherence to secure coding practices and guidelines. Ensures that code is resistant to common vulnerabilities such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS).
Third-Party Libraries and Components:
Checks for vulnerabilities in third-party libraries and components used in the code.
Ensures that libraries are up to date and secure.
Review of Authentication and Authorisation:
Examines code for proper implementation of authentication and authorization mechanisms.
Ensures that access controls are robust and effective.
Data Encryption and Protection: Assesses code for proper data encryption and protection measures. Verifies that sensitive data is handled securely.
