Introduction

The Cloud Security Market, valued at USD 6.76 billion in 2019, is anticipated to reach USD 37.69 billion by 2027. As the market expands, it becomes a more lucrative target for malicious actors. With the heightened growth, ensuring the security of sensitive company data is becoming increasingly crucial. This case study delves into the implementation of Bright’s Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) solution by a prominent cloud-first security company.

Background

Within the cloud security market, staying at the forefront demands innovation, adaptability, and unwavering commitment to security. As a key player in this space, the organization distinguishes itself by providing advanced, enterprise-grade security solutions that are accessible and simple to use. This sector has, unfortunately, become a prime target for cybercriminals due to its growing prominence. Recognizing the pervasive threats to their business, the organization took a proactive stance and sought a solution that could not only adapt to emerging challenges but also provide robust protection.

Solution

To achieve the goal of seeking opportunities to automate processes and elevate security measures in product development, the company targeted the integration of advanced Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) through the Bright platform. This strategic decision aimed to add an extra layer of security, employing a tool capable of producing a high signal-to-noise ratio. The objective was to acquire precise and actionable findings that could be easily managed, ultimately strengthening the overall security posture of the organization.

Results

The cloud security company enhanced its security processes by adopting Bright’s Dynamic DAST tool, which offered a notable reduction in false positives. This accuracy in pinpointing real vulnerabilities has allowed its teams to concentrate on genuine threats more efficiently. The minimized attention to false alarms conserved valuable time and resources, streamlining their security operations.

The Bright team’s commitment to continuously configure and enhance the crawler in order to navigate complex web applications has been a strong “win” for the cloud-security team. The recent addition of IDP initiated SSO support will lead to onboarding of development teams and empowering developers to perform security testing early in the SDLC (Shift Left)

Conclusion

In the continued effort to embed security earlier stage in the development process, the company plans to enable developers to proactively execute Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) alongside the build process. This strategy will allow AppSec professionals to focus more on governance and strategic guidance.
