Application Security for the Build Chain
Security does not have to be a hindrance in software development – on the contrary: Automated security tests integrate seamlessly into your processes and enable early feedback for secure applications.
The early detection of vulnerabilities during development is the key to an efficient Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC). Classic penetration tests alone are not suitable for this – this is where automated methods come in. With the mgm Security Testing Platform ATLAS and our Lean Application Security approach, we anchor security directly into the development process: lean, scalable and precisely tailored to your projects.
The result: High test coverage, continuous feedback and sustainable improvement of application security – without disrupting the project flow.
Our Services
We support you in the introduction and operation of automated security tests:
- Tools & Technologies: Advice on selecting suitable tools for your technology stack.
- Security Test Suite: Setup and integration of a customized test suite into your development processes.
- Vulnerability Assessment: Evaluation of the results and alerting in case of critical findings.
- Remediation & Verification: Assistance with vulnerability remediation and patch verification.
- ATLAS Security Testing Platform: Orchestration and unification of all common methods – SAST, DAST, SCA, IAST, as well as container and cloud security analyses.
Approach
Our approach is practice-oriented and modular:
- Kick-off & Analysis: Gathering project goals, technologies, and security requirements.
- Tool Integration: Integration of suitable analysis tools into your CI/CD pipeline.
- Test Automation: Building a security test suite with continuous feedback.
- Fine-tuning: Optimizing results for maximum significance and minimal false positives.
- Evaluation & Reporting: Role-based preparation of results for developers, architects, project managers, or CISOs.
- Knowledge Anchoring: Derivation of guidelines and permanent integration into processes and architectures.
Checkpoints
Our automated tests cover a broad spectrum:
- Program Code: Static and interactive code analyses (SAST/IAST)
- Third-party components: Analysis of libraries and frameworks (SCA / SBOM)
- Container & Cloud: Security of Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud infrastructures
- Web Applications: Vulnerability analysis (DAST)
- Networks & Systems: Basic and configuration checks
- Standard Solutions: e.g., Keycloak, WordPress, or comparable platforms
Your Benefit
Automated security tests save time and costs – while simultaneously creating transparency and trust in the security of your applications.
With ATLAS and our Lean Application Security approach, you bring security to where it belongs: into the development process. Your teams benefit from repeatable tests, meaningful results, and practical recommendations for action. This is how you sustainably increase the maturity of your organization.
