Happiest Minds’ Secure Code Review & Consulting services help uncover hidden vulnerabilities and design flaws. With the right combination of scanning tools and manual review, we detect insecure coding practices and verify if key security controls are implemented in the right manner.

Static Application Security Testing (SAST) – Happiest Minds offers a comprehensive solution for embedding security and quality into the SDLC. We analyze source code and identify vulnerabilities right in the initial stages of development rather than waiting for the final release of the application. This allows us to resolve issues promptly without breaking builds. Millions of lines of code are scanned in a matter of minutes.

Secure SDLC Consulting – Happiest Minds offers: 1. Security Advisory Service: Gap analysis of application artifacts against security requirements, 2. Threat Modelling Service: Understanding of application functionality with entry points to define attack vectors to cover all possible scenarios and attack surfaces, 3. Secure Code Audit Service: Automated code scan and manual code review to determine flaws in business logic, security design and code, and 4. Penetration Testing Service: Automated scan and role-based manual assessment to exploit vulnerabilities in the final build of the application prior to system go-live.

Secure Development Training (ILT) – Through secure development training, we facilitate continuous competency development. The instructor-led training (ILT) sessions are designed to teach effective methodologies for testing application security and building secure applications.

Key highlights include:

• A formal training and certification program with a mix of online and classroom sessions along with continuing professional education (CPE) sessions
• A fully equipped lab environment that allows consultants to simulate real-life attacks in a controlled environment
• Daily and periodic vulnerability feeders and advanced SOC analytics to assist security consultants in staying current on the global security scenario

Happiest Minds offers a range of DevSecOps and automation services such as consulting, training, design, implementation and maintenance of DevSecOps environments. We help migrate existing traditional development methods on to DevSecOps, and the process is divided into five phases:

Phase 1 – Identifying the right source code review and VAPT tool based on the technology stack used in a given continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) environment such as Checkmarx, Black Duck and BURP Pro,

Phase 2 – Developing scripts and plugins to integrate the identified tool with the CI/CD environment,

Phase 3 – Ensuring the solution is full-proof and deploying it in the CI/CD environment,

Phase 4 – Executing the entire program, and

Phase 5 – Working on enhancements and undertaking maintenance.

Happiest Minds’ Red Teaming Services confirm efficacy of security solutions, identify design weaknesses, investigate system security, show where defenses should be increased, provide actionable information, expose the system to malevolent adversary (emulated), identify high-consequence assets and improve understanding of the system. Our services in the area cover:

Social Engineering –This involves searching the Web using automated and manual crawlers to highlight vulnerabilities—limited to gathering confidential information related to the client on social networking sites, blogs and other parts of the Internet.

Red Team Assessment – We evaluate various areas of security in a multi-layered approach. Assessment areas include Internet security, communications security, information security, social engineering, wireless security and physical security. Following the concept of Defense in Depth, the targets are tested at each layer of possible intrusion or attack.

Phishing Simulation – Happiest Minds offers a host of phishing attack simulation services—right from simple activities to find out who reads an e-mail and clicks on suspicious links within it, through to full credential capture exercises. We then evaluate results and look for areas of improvement, helping clients focus their security investments on reducing risk.

With a 24/7 defensive service, we help evaluate security flaws in IT Infrastructure using various discovery methodologies. Our subject matter experts offer remediation services to fix identified flaws in a phased manner starting with discovery, followed by classification, vulnerability research and KB creation, and finally, patching. We utilize a combination of tools and frameworks such as the following to manage vulnerabilities and offer remediation:

Qualys: It helps with asset discovery, network security, web application security, threat protection and compliance monitoring—all of these features under an integrated management console.

Rapid7: Rapid7’s open source Metasploit Framework comprises an innovative set of tools for developing and deploying exploit code.
