BI.Zone SSDLC (Secure Software Development Life Cycle)

BI.ZONE SSDLC (Secure Software Development Life Cycle) provides continuous monitoring and verification of vulnerabilities in application code base updates, simplifying the process of closing them. BI.ZONE SSDLC also allows you to configure centralized support for secure development.

2024: Adding SCA Module to Analyze Dependencies Security in Code

The BI.ZONE SSDLC introduced an SCA module for analyzing the security of dependencies in code. BI.Zone announced this on March 4, 2024.

The SCA (software composition analysis) module allows users of BI.ZONE SSDLC, a platform for continuous security monitoring of developed applications, to evaluate the security of connected dependencies. The update expands the scope of the code scan, keeping the entire application analyzed for the previous time.

Application security requirements are being tightened and expectations for release speed are increasing, so organizations need to identify and prevent vulnerabilities as early as possible. A key role in this process is played by the application of secure development solutions that provide continuous monitoring and management of vulnerabilities. However, often developers are focused on the quality of their own code, missing the analysis of third-party dependencies and open source components, which can lead to vulnerabilities in the application.

This module helps to ensure the security of applications, including the open source components used. It analyzes code and detects dependencies, and then compares them with known and constantly updated vulnerability databases. As a result, the module generates a report on detected security problems in the code. Thus, the use of SCA in the framework of application analysis for vulnerabilities allows you to increase the coverage of scanning code components, while the total time for analyzing vulnerabilities remains the same, - said Pavel Zagumennov, Head of Security Analysis Solutions, BI.ZONE.

The BI.ZONE SSDLC platform provides continuous monitoring and management of vulnerabilities in application code base updates. The solution can be integrated with a bug tracker or Task tracker in order to receive all information in a timely manner, including data on the criticality of vulnerabilities and the status of their elimination. The use of built-in automation tools significantly reduces the likelihood that attackers will violate the security of applications.

Building secure development is a difficult task for most companies, and hiring and retaining specialists to analyze application security is often too expensive. Using BI.ZONE SSDLC solves this problem, and also significantly reduces labor costs for the selection, configuration and integration of various vulnerability scanning systems for each individual project. The platform takes over the analysis and analysis of vulnerabilities. This is especially important given the complexities of consolidating reports from different sources and then manually verifying the results.
