Application Security Testing

Application security testing (AST) finds vulnerabilities in the software you build before attackers find them in production. Lanos Logic builds it into your development workflow with five complementary techniques. Static application security testing (SAST) reads your source code for flaws such as injection, unsafe deserialisation, and broken authorisation logic. Dynamic application security testing (DAST) attacks the running application from the outside, the way an attacker would, and catches issues that only appear at runtime. Software composition analysis (SCA) inventories your open-source dependencies and flags known CVEs and licence risks. Secret scanning finds API keys, tokens, and passwords committed to code or buried in git history. Container and infrastructure-as-code (IaC) scanning checks Docker images, Kubernetes manifests, and Terraform or CloudFormation templates for vulnerable packages and insecure defaults before anything is deployed.

We wire these checks into the tools your team already uses - GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or Azure DevOps - so results appear on the pull request instead of in a separate report nobody reads. We use proven open-source and commercial scanners, tune their rules to your languages and frameworks, triage the first baseline with you, and agree a gating policy so builds fail only on real, high-severity issues. Pre-commit secret checks stop credentials before they ever leave a laptop, and every build can produce a software bill of materials (SBOM) for customers and auditors.

This is not a one-off audit. Threats and dependencies change every day, so the system keeps itself current: scanning rules and vulnerability databases update automatically, an AI triage layer checks whether a vulnerable function is actually reachable from your code and ranks findings by real risk, and routine fixes such as dependency upgrades arrive as ready-to-review pull requests. Every flaw you fix becomes a permanent check, so the system flags it if the same mistake comes back. Our engineers stay in the loop to review AI decisions and tune what the system learns.

Application Security Testing is the shift-left layer of our cybersecurity practice: it finds what is wrong in the code. Security Vulnerability Scanning watches what is deployed, Penetration Testing proves what an attacker could actually do, and Systems Hardening & Cloud Posture closes the configuration gaps. Together they give evidence for the secure-development controls in SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI-DSS. The setup is scoped on a free discovery call and quoted at a fixed price, with optional ongoing triage support.
