Source Code Review

Each programming language has its own unique properties. Python is optimized for readability, and C programs perform their own memory protection. Similarly, each language has security quirks that must be considered during a rigorous source code audit.

Tektegra has program security specialists well versed in a broad variety of languages, from Assembly and C programming to high-level scripting languages. An analysis of language-specific security experience may mean a difference between the identification of crucial vulnerabilities and a significant breach of records.

Penetration monitoring on production applications offers an indispensable understanding of existing flaws and future harm if abused.

Targeted Audits for Your Most Important Software

Using a mixed approach, Tektegra uses best-in-class code analysis software to search the entire codebase and deep manual scan for critical areas.

These select features, such as user authentication and client-supplied parameters, include much of the security bugs – so that's where we take a deep dive.

Integrate Code Review into Your SDLC

Tektegra provides both stand-alone source checks and automated code analysis as part of the continuing implementation phase of the client.

When inserted into the daily SDLC, our application specialists become integral members of the production team, ensuring that any code push has been carefully checked by trained security authorities.

  • Identify vulnerabilities early in the life cycle of production
  • Address bugs before being moved to the development apps
  • Target audits on the most relevant apps

Assessment Details and Methodology

At Tektegra, each safe code analysis follows a validated approach to ensure highly selective, reliable commitments. Each engagement shall be conducted in the following steps:

    Enumerate source code and dependencies

  1. Mapping and Enumeration
  2. To begin each engagement, Tektegra engineers review the concept documents, chart data flows, and list essential areas of interest. Particular attention is given to affiliated repositories, which can give rise to hidden vulnerabilities of their own.

    Scan for code-layer vulnerabilities

  3. Automated Vulnerability Detection
  4. If the goal has been thoroughly listed, Tektegra uses both commercial and proprietary software to illustrate the issue areas of the code.

    This helps the operator to distinguish individual code bugs and general problem areas, such as unsafe functional logic.

    Hands-on review of critical areas

  5. Manual Review and Analysis
  6. Although code scanning tools may be helpful in detecting low-hanging threats, they are no substitute for professional engineers. By using the previous mapping and scanning techniques, we will concentrate on the most vulnerable areas of the code – and discover weaknesses that automated services have overlooked.

    Detailed, report with remediation

  7. Assessment Reporting
  8. If the engagement has been completed, Tektegra will include a full review and threat study, including code remediation. Our advisors set industry standards for transparent and succinct reviews, prioritizing the highest risk vulnerabilities.

The assessment must include the following:

  • Executive Summary.
  • High-level development of strengths and weaknesses.
  • Specific application Vulnerabilities/Risk rating.
  • Detailed remedial steps
