CYBER SECURITY
APPLICATION SECURITY MANAGEMENT
Hardware, software, training and procedures that identify or minimise security vulnerabilities.
Our application security solutions
With the various applications available today over multiple networks within the cloud, this can lead to increasing vulnerability when it comes to security threats and breaches. And with hackers getting more sophisticated with the way they target apps with their attacks today, it is easy to see why it is important to not only ensure security at the network level but also within applications themselves. Applications are accessible across networks and are the launchpad for a majority of breaches. For these reasons alone, application security is urgently important.
Different types of application security
We offer many different types of application security including authentication, authorisation, encryption, logging, and application security testing. We help secure applications and then secure access to those applications. The methods available include:
AUTHENTICATION
Our authentication procedures ensure that a user is who they say they are. This can be accomplished by requiring the user to provide a username and password when logging in to an application. Multi-factor authentication requires more than one form of authentication – the factors might include something you know (a password), something you have (a mobile device), and something you are (a thumb print or facial recognition).
AUTHORISATION
After a user has been authenticated, the user may be authorised to access and use the application. The system can validate that a user has permission to access the application by comparing the user’s identity with a list of authorised users. Authentication must happen before authorisation so that the application matches only validated user credentials to the authorised user list.
ENCRYPTION
After a user has been authenticated and is using the application, other security measures can protect sensitive data from being seen or even used by a cybercriminal. In cloud-based applications, where traffic containing sensitive data travels between the end user and the cloud, that traffic can be encrypted to keep the data safe.
Email security solutions
It’s hard to imagine a world without mobile devices now and many organisations want to improve the productivity of their employees by allowing them to access corporate data on the go using corporate or personally owned mobile devices. Also part of our Opus Secure Endpoint Security solutions, our mobile device management and mobile application management (MAM) solutions can help achieve this in a seamless and simplified manner helping. They help you control how your organisation’s devices are used, including mobile phones, tablets, and laptops.
