LTIMindtree’s DevSecOps

Applications are the lifeline of the modern-Digital Enterprises. With more and more companies building their own apps, purchasing a record number of applications, and incorporating open-source code into their applications, the vulnerabilities and risks associated with these applications have also risen exponentially. Security breaches in organizations are on the rise more than ever, and one of the primary reasons is vulnerable applications. Organizations cannot depend only on traditional network & infrastructure-based security protection, leaving a large attack surface i.e., applications, open for attacks. 

To be prepared for attacks, organizations need effective planning to align their application security architecture with the new-age risk landscapes. To succeed AppSec must be integrated at each stage of the DevOps pipeline. This approach is known as DevSecOps, which helps in accurately removing the friction among Dev, Ops & Security teams, and it makes each team realize why security is as important as the functionality of applications.

We at LTIMindtree believe that applications are the future of business, and organizations must act now and do everything possible to ensure that their customers are provided a world-class user experience on apps and that their data is protected from cybercriminals. We use a Shift-Security-Left approach in any application security program. The Shift-Left approach enables the mitigation of vulnerabilities as early as possible in the DevOps pipeline. We understand the security needs of organizations and formulate a mature application security program that offers a full range of security services required to ensure their applications remain secure with the changing threat landscape.

LTIMindtree offers the following security services at different phases in the DevOps cycle:

1. Static Application Security Testing (SAST): LTIMindtree SAST service identifies the security vulnerabilities in the source code and provides recommendations for their remediation.
2. Software Composition Analysis (SCA): LTIMindtree SCA service identifies the open source & third-party components and identifies the vulnerable open-source libraries/frameworks, along with the license risks.
3. Container Security: LTIMindtree Container Security service identifies security vulnerabilities in the container images, registry, hosts, etc.
4. Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST): LTIMindtree DAST Service identifies the security vulnerabilities in a running application.
5. Application Penetration Testing: LTIMindtree Application Penetration Testing checks the effectiveness of the application’s security controls by flagging the risks posed by exploitable security vulnerabilities.
6. Fuzz Testing: LTIMindtree Fuzz Testing service involves feeding of unexpected, random & invalid inputs in an application to analyze its behavior and report security vulnerabilities found.
7. Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST): In the LTIMindtree IAST service, sensors and agents are deployed in the running application, which actively monitors the application interactions and identifies the security vulnerabilities.
8. Runtime Application Self Protection (RASP): LTIMindtree provides RASP service for an application running in production that entails deployment of agents and sensors in the running application, actively monitoring, analyzing vulnerabilities, and protecting the application.
9. Application Security Orchestration & Correlation (ASOC): LTIMindtree ASOC service performs hybrid correlation & normalization of vulnerabilities by feeding security results from multiple security tools into a single platform for minimizing false positives. It also provides a real-time dashboard for tracking issues, remediation status, and other metrics.
