Client Profile
A global software development enterprise specializing in financial, healthcare, and e-commerce applications. The organization needed a comprehensive strategy to continuously assess and improve the security posture of its applications across development, deployment, and runtime environments.
Challenges Faced
With the increasing sophistication of cyber threats targeting applications, the organization encountered several security risks:
- Vulnerabilities Across the SDLC Lacked visibility into security gaps within the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC).
- Compliance & Secure Development Challenges Needed to align with OWASP, NIST, GDPR, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001 security frameworks.
- Application Security Monitoring Gaps Required real-time security insights to detect and remediate application threats proactively.
Solution
The organization partnered with COE Security to implement an Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) framework, ensuring continuous security visibility, risk assessment, and compliance enforcement across applications.
Comprehensive Security Assessment & Risk Management
- Conducted static and dynamic application security testing (SAST/DAST) to identify vulnerabilities before deployment.
- Implemented software composition analysis (SCA) to detect risks in open-source components and third-party dependencies.
- Assessed API security to prevent unauthorized access, injection attacks, and data leakage.
Continuous Security Monitoring & Threat Mitigation
- Integrated security monitoring within CI/CD pipelines to detect and mitigate threats in real time.
- Leveraged runtime application self-protection (RASP) to identify and block security exploits.
- Utilized AI-driven security analytics for continuous risk assessment and proactive defense.
Regulatory Compliance & Secure Development Governance
- Ensured compliance with OWASP ASVS, GDPR, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 security requirements.
- Developed secure coding best practices and policies to enforce security-by-design principles.
- Automated compliance checks within DevSecOps to maintain audit readiness and regulatory alignment.
Security Awareness & Developer Training
- Conducted secure coding workshops to educate developers on identifying and fixing vulnerabilities.
- Implemented red team exercises to simulate real-world attacks on applications and APIs.
- Provided security documentation and best practices for integrating security into the SDLC.
Results
With COE Security’s Application Security Posture Management, the organization achieved:
- Proactive Application Security Identified and remediated vulnerabilities early in the development process.
- Continuous Threat Detection Implemented real-time security monitoring to prevent application-layer attacks.
- Regulatory Compliance Assurance Maintained adherence to OWASP, GDPR, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001 security frameworks.
- Improved Developer Security Awareness Strengthened secure coding practices and reduced application security risks.
- Enhanced API & Software Security Protected applications from injection attacks, misconfigurations, and unauthorized access.
Through COE Security’s Application Security Posture Management, the organization fortified its application security posture, ensuring compliance, resilience, and protection against evolving cyber threats.
