DevSecOps
With the pace of today’s development cycles, it’s imperative to build security into your stack from the ground up. Edgescan seamlessly integrates with all major CI/CD pipelines while delivering clever technology to produce validated vulnerability intelligence that are virtually free of false positives.
With a unified approach that fosters cross-functional collaboration and threat intelligence that’s straightforward and accessible, teams across your organization will be on the same page as they come together to maintain a robust security posture in a threat environment that’s constantly evolving.
Safe Sprinting
The days are long gone when an organization’s security team could get involved at the end of a development cycle. The modern sprint model requires that teams incorporate security into the process from day one. The goal for any organization is to operate at speed and scale without sacrificing security. That’s next to impossible without highly accurate and timely security assessments, and that’s a fair summary of what Edgescan is all about.
With continuous vulnerability scanning and penetration testing, the Edgescan platform powers a unified approach to vulnerability management that creates a single source of truth across your development and security teams.
Validation, Validation, Validation
Edgescan ensures vulnerabilities presented in the platform are real through a combination of clever data science based auto-validation and expert validation where required. For vulnerabilities that can’t be auto-validated (about 8%), our experts triage and confirm the discovered vulnerability is truly real.
The solution is powered by advanced analytics drawing on millions of past vulnerability examples from the vast Edgescan data lake. Potential threats are assessed against this trove of intelligence, gathered across a decade of service to a wide variety of clients, to immediately root out false positives.
But that’s just the first phase in a multi-step validation process. Flagged vulnerabilities deemed to require additional inspection are placed into the expert validation pipeline, where Edgescan’s OSCP- and CREST-certified experts—a group of seasoned penetration testers who have been with the firm an average of seven years—probe them to verify the threats and map their characteristics.
With the breadth of automation and the depth of human expertise, you can have absolute confidence that your assessments are both comprehensive and false-positive-free. That way, your security team won’t waste time on issues that pose no real danger, and your development team won’t be served with a list of unimportant issues to address as they’re building out a new layer of the stack. They can fix significant problems fast and keep moving.
If you prefer speed and accuracy is not as important, the human aspect of triage against complex vulnerabilities can be simply switched off on demand.
Complete Integration
The Edgescan API integrates with all major CI/CD pipelines, so the security team can feed information straight into an interface shared with developers. Now multiple working groups in the DevSecOps equation are looking at the same intelligence and the same data. They’re on the same page. They can alert one another within the platform and push some issues as priorities for review or remediation.
The solution scans new and existing code blocks on a schedule matched to the internal development team’s sprint cycles. The output reports are shared with the team so they can begin remediation while the development process continues for optimal efficiency. That’s development at speed and scale, without sacrificing security. That’s DevSecOps.
Build a Holistic Model
DevSecOps is an ethos for an entire organization, one that encourages members of every team to approach their work with information security in mind. It’s a collaborative view of security across the board, where everyone is responsible for maintaining a robust security posture.
Vital to this mission is intelligence that’s accessible to all team members, regardless of their specialization or level of expertise. At Edgescan, we believe full-stack vulnerability intelligence should operate via plain language that everyone can understand, and the platform combines multiple views of the same problem to create a true DevSecOps framework.
Continuous Support
If you have questions about a vulnerability identified on an assessment, our team of seasoned penetration testers is on hand to provide technical background and guide your remediation process to ensure a security gap is fully closed.
Our team of experts are also available to help you design your DevSecOps strategy from a global perspective to maximize the efficiency and resiliency of your process. Looking across your organization, they can also help different teams with different views of the same problem understand the same issue in their own ways.
Whether you know what’s missing from your organization’s approach to secure development or you’re still figuring that out, the Edgescan solution isn’t a tool. In aggregate, this is a platform and a service that will change the shape of your organization’s approach through ongoing partnership.
