Frequently asked questions
Secure source code review – common questions and answers.
Secure source code review is a structured security assessment where CyberSigma analyses your application's source code to identify vulnerabilities, insecure coding practices and logic flaws before deployment.
Secure code review detects vulnerabilities early in development, reducing breach risk, remediation costs and long-term security exposure.
Penetration testing evaluates running applications, while secure source code review analyses the actual source code to uncover deeper logic and structural security issues.
We recommend it before major releases, after significant code changes or during secure development lifecycle implementation.
