Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL) Services


Automated Application & Source Code Testing

  • Use open source static analysis tools to detect use of prohibited libraries or unsafe functions
  • Use open source static analysis tools to detect the lack of secure libraries like input filtering
  • Use open source static analysis tools to detect C/C++ memory errors
  • Use commercial web application scanning tools and filter results to provide relevance
  • Use commercial source code scanning tools and filter results to provide relevance
  • Use commercial binary analysis tools and filter results to provide relevance

SDLC Process Gap Analysis

  • Analysis of current Threat Modeling Processes
  • Analysis of current Secure Development Guidelines
  • Analysis of current negative QA testing in development and QA organizations
  • Analysis of current Developer Training Initiatives
  • Recommendations for Automated Application & Source Code Testing

Secure Framework Development

The "iSEC SecureWeb Framework"

Pre-created J2EE classes that provide the basis for providing web security services:

  • Input validation classes with common pre-defined types (safe HTML, SSN, credit cards, etc.)
  • XSRF protection framework, including a token generator and a simple interface to query the “action state” of the client
  • Output validation framework, perhaps implemented as a servlet or tied to a compositing engine
  • Secure data-access-layer class, which can wrap JDBC and guarantee prevention of SQL Injection
  • Security anomaly framework. A simple framework that can be tuned by the end customer, that collects data and makes it easy to create business rules that detect fraud, such as a single user logging in from multiple geographical locations within a certain period of time.

Developer Training

  • Improving Software Security through Life Cycle Changes
  • Web Application Security QA Testing
  • Application Security Best Practices
  • Penetration Testing & Binary Analysis
  • Windows Vista Security for Developers

Custom Protocol and Application Fuzzer Development

Use valid test data to inject random data into the following input fields:

  • Event driven inputs. Usually from a graphical user interface, or possibly from a mechanism in an embedded system.
  • Character driven inputs. Files or data streams such as sockets.
  • Database inputs. Tabular data, such as relational databases.
  • Inherited program state such as environment variables

Development/Security Team Staff Augmentation

  • Standards/procedures/and examples that drive security into engineering and QA
  • Specific guidelines for avoiding problems found during penetration testing and previous assessments
  • Standards for measuring applications against the new Secure Development Guidelines
