Professional Security EvaluationsCrowdsourced Bug BountiesAutomated Security AnalysisSoftware Maturity Modeling

Our professional security evaluations are performed in-house and trusted by today's leading product teams

Between project deadlines and user demand for new features, security generally is not the highest priority for product development teams. Too often, identifying and remediating vulnerabilities is seen as a task performed during the testing phase at the tail end of the software development lifecycle (SDLC). When it comes to secure coding, this reactive secure development approach is setting software teams up for failure.

To help product teams address emerging security challenges, Praetorian has created research-driven evaluation methodologies that incorporate guidance from the OWASP Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS), which normalizes the range in coverage and level of rigor applied to each application. With its 3 levels of testing rigor, 17 security control categories, and 211 defined test cases, this approach allows our team to meet your unique testing and budget goals by offering tiered pricing based on the comprehensiveness of the security review.

As part of a professional security evaluation, and depending on the level of rigor, Praetorian will employ a variety of techniques for uncovering unknown vulnerabilities:
Penetration testing
Run-time analysis
Binary analysis
Code analysis
Design analysis

Leverage the law of large numbers through private bug bounties to scale on-going security testing efforts

Software development has shifted. With mass adoption in cloud and container technologies, Internet-based companies are shipping code at unprecedented speed. The new pace in which code is being pushed to production is causing security teams to reexamine how they integrate security verification into the software development lifecycle. 

One strategy for keeping pace with today's accelerated development lifecycle is to tap into the scale provided by private bug bounty. This specific crowdsourcing model defines a payout scale for vulnerabilities identified, typically based on criticality, and invites a select pool of security researchers to hunt for bugs until the bounty purse is exhausted. You only pay for security bugs that are identified and professionally validated, which is a major benefit in addition to the model's scalability.

Leverage technology through code annotation and support for continuous integration/continuous delivery

To meet the needs of customers adopting rapid iteration development practices, we have created a new client experience that we call Security-as-a-Service. Internally and affectionately referred to as Diana, named after the goddess of the hunt, our new platform is transforming the way in which product security evaluations are performed. As an alternative to providing clients a security evaluation that represents a single, snapshot in time, Diana’s subscription model offers holistic, continuous security analysis.

From vulnerability identification to vulnerability remediation, Diana delivers a comprehensive security view into an organization’s product portfolio. Through Diana’s unified vulnerability management platform, clients can continue to leverage the trusted, in-house expertise that Praetorian has become known for while scaling up on-going testing coverage via continuous integration, bug bounty, and deep learning technologies.

Integrate security across the entire SDLC to achieve true improvement

This can be accomplished using a software maturity model, such as OWASP’s Software Assurance Maturity Model (OpenSAMM), BSIMM, and Microsoft SDL. The maturity model describes a wide variety of activities in which an organization could engage to reduce security risks and increase assurance.

Leveraging a maturity model is the best approach when reviewing security over the entire software development lifecycle. A maturity model is appropriate for two reasons. First, the business objectives of a company and the maturity of its software security practice will vary widely from one organization to the next. Not all organizations need to achieve the same security goals, but all organizations can measure their standing against a uniform yardstick. Second, integration almost always means changing the way an organization works—something that doesn't happen overnight. A maturity model provides a way to assess the state of an organization, prioritize changes, and demonstrate progress.
