Nascom & ZION SECURITY: Building secure web applications
An online application developer and an expert in security solutions are joining forces to offer a full service to their customers.
Security issues are typically tackled at the moment a ‘hack’ has been determined, and the company is confronted with an acute problem. In the best-case scenario, an application is tested on possible security risks after its delivery.
Nascom and ZION SECURITY prefer to adopt a proactive way of handling this. They are introducing security right from the start of the project, and can therefore avoid many unnecessary costs and hassles.
Applications must be secure, always. That is the starting point of this partnership. Nascom takes care of building the applications and puts the security related issues of delivering (web) applications in the professional hands of a third and independent party. Leuven-based ZION SECURITY proved to be a perfect partner.
ZION SECURITY stays closely involved with the project throughout the entire process to nip security issues in the bud, resulting in 100% secure applications at the time of delivery to the customer.
From now on Nascom will include ZION SECURITY services in its offerings to clients, including risk analysis and thorough testing. The customer has the option to get consultancy and the brand new service ‘ZION VERIFIED’, a solution that helps protect the application after development against external threats.
Investing in knowledge is essential to achieve the common goal that has been set. Nascom employees have been thoroughly trained by ZION SECURITY specialists, to guarantee the right know-how and expertise.
As the first developer of online applications in Belgium, Nascom is implementing a ‘Secure Development Life cycle’ (SDL), and integrating security related knowledge and effort in her standard SDL. This entails among other things that ZION SECURITY will execute a code review as well as testing as a standard for every application that requires it.
ZION SECURITY will in turn recommend Nascom as a strategic partner for ‘secure web development’ with its customers. They have faith in the level of expertise at Nascom and know that their way of programming and the implementation of the SDL will lead to secure applications.
Thanks to this new approach, typical security related traps can be avoided, since they are tackled right from the start of the project. The customer can count on a secure application at the end of the production process.
