AppSecure Labs Limited Launches in UK

Sept. 1, 2010 - PRLog -- AppSecure Labs Limited, a UK based security company with a major focus on web application security has been launched today. The proactive approach to web application security taken by AppSecure Labs allows businesses to consider security during early stages of the software development lifecycle. “This approach to application security is more cost effective and allows businesses to meet strict regulatory and compliance requirements with improved confidence”, says Vishal Garg, founder of AppSecure Labs Limited.

Mr. Vishal Garg CISSP CISA, who is also the project lead for the new OWASP development guide, has observed over the years that reactive approach to web application security, where companies follow a find and fix culture, is not working anymore. Whilst working for a UK based security company and advising FTSE 100 and multinational companies on application security, Mr. Garg has found over the years that companies are making same mistakes again and again. This has been confirmed by increasing number of security breaches coming into light on a more regular basis. “We need to change the way we develop and secure software applications and this can only be achieved by integrating security early into the software development lifecycle”, says Mr. Garg. The problem we are facing at the moment is that the companies do not have enough resources and an understanding of how to implement security during initial phases of the software development process.

AppSecure Labs’ proactive approach to application security would allow companies to implement security during initial phases of the software development process through proven industry best practices and help them to develop applications that are inherently secure. “Companies are not only under immense pressure to save revenues and protect their reputation as a result of a breach, but are also under increased pressure to meet strict regulatory and compliance requirements”, says Mr. Garg. Thanks to the approach taken by AppSecure Labs to software security, companies would not just meet mandatory regulatory and compliance requirements, but also have improved consumer confidence and protect their brand integrity.
