# Application Security

Domain: [Cybersecurity & Identity](https://bedreweb.com/services/cybersecurity-and-identity) · Page: https://bedreweb.com/services/cybersecurity-and-identity/application-security

Application security that finds and fixes weaknesses in web and mobile apps, and builds secure habits into development.

## What it is
Application security focuses on the code and design of the software you build or buy. Typical risks include broken access control, injection flaws, insecure data storage and vulnerable third-party libraries.

Fixing problems late is costly. Reviewing designs, checking code and testing before release finds issues earlier, while training and checklists help developers avoid repeating them.

## What is included
- **Threat modelling**: Thinking through how an attacker could abuse the application.
- **Code and dependency review**: Looking for insecure patterns and vulnerable libraries.
- **Security testing**: Testing the running application for common weaknesses.
- **Authentication and session review**: Checking login, roles and session handling.
- **Remediation guidance**: Clear fixes with priority and effort.
- **Secure development practices**: Checklists and pipeline checks for the future.

## Outcomes
- **Fewer vulnerabilities in production**: Issues are found before attackers find them.
- **Protection of customer data**: Access control and data handling are checked.
- **Developer confidence**: Teams know what secure looks like.

## Good fit if
- You are about to launch a customer-facing app.
- Customers ask for evidence of testing.
- You use many third-party libraries.

## FAQ
**Is this penetration testing?**
It can include testing of the running application. The depth and method are agreed in the scope.

**Can you test our live site?**
Testing is planned and authorised in writing, often on a staging copy to avoid disruption.

**Will you fix the issues?**
We can recommend fixes and, where agreed, help implement them.
