Application Security Assessment Application development process is long and expensive. Over the years, the application development process has been modified to ensure that the functionality of the application and the quality process relevant to the organization is well entrenched into the development process. Security is still not always fully ingrained into the process and is often regarded as an add-on to the application after it has been developed. This has resulted in serious security infractions in applications that are otherwise acceptable in terms of functionality and quality. V-Tech can assist clients in two ways – firstly in the form of testing applications to check if it suffers from any vulnerability that is associated with the application that is waiting to be certified for production or is already in production; secondly assist in establishing processes for embedding security in the development process.
