In an ideal world, securing applications takes place across all phases of development. Redpoint has worked with everyone from startups to established fortune 50 companies to improve an organizational needs to integrate security into every step of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC). We cover range of needs for early phase companies or established organizations with rapid Agile-style release schedules.
To improve your security program, Redpoint likes to become a partner with your developers and AppSec teams rather than merely a third-party that performs one-and-done assessments performed at a single point in time. Instead Redpoint have seen our clients have the most success in improving their security maturity when we work as AppSec team augmentation. We’ll meet developers early, run bespoke training sessions with them on addressing basic security vulnerabilities, demonstrating we’re a knowledgable and trustworthy partner. Over time, these relationships often lead to an ongoing conversation about ways to improve security right out of the gate, fielding questions from devs early in their new feature development process.
The results of an Redpoint SDLC partnership are evident in assessing a security program over time, whether it’s by analyzing when bugs are spotted during the development cycle or in reviewing the type of vulnerabilities that show up in annual, bi-annual or quarterly reviews of applications and new feature development. Our aim is to help reduce your risk, which will also reduce your stress.
Key offerings within this service include:
• Developer Training: Our range of trainings empower your development team with the expertise to find bugs in their applications, write secure code from the outset, and foster a proactive security mindset.
• Security Champion Programs: We assist in the establishment of Security Champion Programs (often after identifying key members of your team with an interest and talent for security during developer trainings), where designated team members advocate for security awareness and best practices within your organization.
• Threat Modeling and Tabletop Exercises: We collaborate with your team to perform threat modeling and tabletop exercises, identifying potential risks early on and strengthening incident response capabilities.
