Now is the time to safeguard your applications!
Having software developers on your team isn’t equivalent to having security professionals onboard. Focus areas of developers as compared to security experts are different, therefore, a large number of applications aren’t secure and fail to meet the industry standards and compliance requirements.
According to a Forrester report, software security flaws were responsible for cyberattacks in almost half of all organizations. The Positive Technologies report claimed that hackers could attack 9 out of 10 web applications tested for vulnerabilities through theft of credentials, malware injection, and phishing attacks. Implementing application security best practices and having regular security assessments helps in keeping a check and fixing these vulnerabilities. Daffodil has a team of security experts who has experience in helping organizations secure their solutions!
Value addition to your organization with our AppSec Services
Being your security partner, our topmost priority would be to discover vulnerabilities, fix them, eliminate duplicates and work in alignment with your industry/business’s compliance requirements and enterprise risk tolerance level.
With our fully managed application security (AppSec) services, rest assured that the team will pay extra attention to maintaining compliance with NIST 800-53, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 standards while mitigating cyber risk of any kind.
Our security experts work closely with you to understand the vulnerabilities of your infrastructure and the external threats that are most likely to cause the most damage. We will ensure that your business can recover quickly from any disruptive events.
Our round-the-clock security experts function as an extension of your in-house team with co-managed and fully managed information and network security solutions.
Timely scheduling of scans would be planned for your solutions. Our experts will periodically evaluate your systems for high-risk vulnerabilities. In addition, we would constantly update and improve our scanners so we don’t miss any critical issues.
Comprehensive coverage with our AppSec Services
Identify gaps in your application from the perspective of security to recognize secure design patterns, including authentication, authorization, and security event logging & response, etc.
Detailed analysis of application security architectures and capabilities against threats and vulnerabilities. Security threat modeling focuses on discovering different types of threats before they even appear which can in future harm your application’s infrastructure, resulting in a security breach. Threat modeling protects the solutions from potential breaches and revenue loss.
Secure your cloud infrastructure with our DevSecOps services consisting of holistic implementation that secures the entire development stack and DevOps pipeline. Rest assured that there is continuous visibility, feedback, and insights on security threats at each stage of the software development cycle.
Source code review recognizes vulnerabilities that pentesters would miss without code analysis tools. White-box application security testing allows us to leverage static code security tools. The manual evaluation of high-risk functionality adds more efficiency. Combining white-box and black-box application security testing techniques secures the highest quality.
The application security assessment is essential to produce solutions that are free of flaws and vulnerabilities. The team of experts helps in code analysis, detection of misconfigurations, information leaks, vulnerabilities, logic issues, input validation, APIs authentication, authorization issues, etc.
APIs provide the easiest access point for a hacker who wants your data. When there is an error in an API, it affects every application that relies on that API. Ensure your APIs are secure before, during, and after production. Exposing API vulnerabilities with in-depth API security assessment & testing.
Get an application security training program for your team based on the vulnerabilities and threats identified from different assessments. We’ve got you covered with all-encompassing training options built specifically for developers.
We offer best-practice security guidance and advice for effective remediation to help define risk acceptance policies and isolate false positives. Collaborative vulnerability remediation coordination with application developers to fix security issues.

Different types of application security testing tools we use
SAST is very similar to white-box testing wherein the team will analyze your source code to look for security vulnerabilities that will make your application prone to cyberattack.
DAST is similar to black-box security testing wherein the team will detect security vulnerabilities in an application at its production level, securing all the touchpoints & loopholes.
SCA tools are used to find errors in different components of the software. They compare known modules found in code with a database of vulnerabilities.
IAST tools use a combination of SAST and DAST techniques to perform both static code analysis and vulnerability detection on a running application.
Application security is not a single technology; rather, it’s a set of best practices, tools, functions, and/or features added to an organization’s software to help prevent and remediate threats from cyber attackers, data breaches, and other sources. Experts at Daffodil use a combination of different tools and technologies based on the requirement such as SAST, DAST, SCA, etc. These tools and frameworks are used in different scenarios and environments wherein the application and its code are examined to detect vulnerabilities and threats. Our security experts will further fix those security loopholes for you. Following are some of the tools we use but are not limited at are:
Implementation of AppSec services across industries
Post the pandemic, the healthcare industry is adopting technologically advanced healthcare IT solutions such as telehealth, IoT in medical devices, revenue cycle systems, technologies for remote monitoring, clearinghouse technologies, and more. Without a dedicated team of security experts, it would be extremely difficult for healthcare organizations to just focus on providing quality services to their patients as the industry demands stringent standards & compliance which might result in huge fines in case of any breach.
A range of security solutions for the financial services industry. Our security experts ensure a seamless, secure flow of high transactional volume. In addition, we ensure our clients comply with the required security norms of ISO27001, PCI-DSS, SOC Type 1 and Type 2, and other industry-specific regulations. We cover the entire spectrum of security program design, implementation, monitoring, and continuous improvement.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
An organization can adopt either one of two approaches for application security. Either they can hire an application security company such as Daffodil to conduct application security vulnerability assessments or they can implement best practices for security at the very beginning of the development procedure. The former aims at finding application security bugs in the software, while the latter applies proven application security practices to the software environment lifecycle.
- Risks inherent with third-party or legacy components with inherited breach possibilities.
- Lack of required agility level to respond quickly to changes.
- Hiring, training, and maintaining security experts.
- Relying too much on automated tools.
- Poor AppSec plan development.
- SAST and DAST.
- Manual Application Penetration Testing
- Software Composition Analysis (SCA)
- Database Security Scanning
- Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST)
- Mobile Application Security Testing (MAST)
- Correlation Tools
- Test-Coverage Analyzers
The primary objective of security testing is to discover the threats in the system and map its potential vulnerabilities so that these threats could be fixed and the system is zero or negligible downtime without any major exploitation.
The aim of the security lifecycle is to improve the organization’s security practices. To find and fix preventable security issues within applications. It consists of the whole application life cycle from requirements analysis, design, implementation, verification, and maintenance.
Security testing follows a lifecycle similar to any other IT process. The security lifecycle includes identifying, assessing, protecting, and monitoring.
Application security is essential because now applications are often available over different networks and are connected to the cloud, therefore, increasing vulnerabilities to security threats and breaches.
