Application Architecture Review

Challenge

The security-related side of application architecture, sometimes referred to as security architecture, is often overlooked in the enterprise. Someone within a business unit requests a new widget or feature, and the development team tries to respond to the request as fast as possible and with minimal cost. Time to market and cost concerns are priorities, while security is overlooked or ignored altogether. Unfortunately, applications are the greatest source of security risk to an organization's information infrastructure, with 75% of vulnerabilities originating at the application layer.

Solution

Secure Application approaches Application Architecture Security Reviews holistically. Our team looks at all of the interwoven components that make up an enterprise application architecture, including the systems and infrastructure that enable the application's availability. Designing and maintaining applications, systems, and a network infrastructure based on security standards and best practices protects organizations from attack, reduces risk, and maintains compliance implicitly with virtually any standard, regulation, or law.
