Use Case
How a complete DevSecOps platform can transform the routine of a financial institution
Appsec matters in every industry, but for banks and financial institutions, it is crucial.
When it comes to application security, in addition to being governed by strong regulations, a financial institution is also exposed to high risks. After all, the impact, should someone with malicious intent succeed in exploitation, is high - both for the institution and for its clients. The probability of an intrusion happening is also higher for this type of institution - they are highly targeted.
This is especially problematic, since, depending on how they handle AppSec, the institution's relationship with its customers is in check. We also cannot leave aside legal issues, such as restitution costs and image damage.

Awareness and empowerment
So that AppSec becomes a culture among security and development teams
In the search for a process that fits the institution's routine, it is not uncommon to come across banks and financial institutions that report that they have acquired a number of tools for their development and security teams to deal with AppSec.
But this not only does not solve the problem, but it also generates another one: many of these tools are designed to work in various scenarios and in several working models, which makes them, at times, generic. In some cases, despite being effective, their excess often makes it difficult for the team to have a complete view of the situation.
As a result, the institution often ends up adapting to the tool's process. They sometimes even leave the tool aside and look for others, generating rework and unnecessary expenses.
It is a complete DevSecOps platform - With the mission of supporting the entire secure development cycle and accelerating AppSec maturity in companies, Conviso Platform is composed of five products. Each of them plays an indispensable and complementary role in this purpose, by contemplating not only preventive and corrective actions but also, by promoting the AppSec culture within companies.
It centralizes, leverages, and coexists with other tools - Your team won't necessarily need to abandon all the tools they've already acquired. On the contrary - Conviso Platform supports the main solutions in Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery tools, in addition to other solutions on the market. Our integrations are constantly updated to give developers more autonomy.
Unified management of your AppSec process - this is a big benefit of getting a complete DevSecOps platform. With our solution, you centralize the communication of the security and development teams. Our platform controls risk policies, aggregates analysis results, correlates and manages vulnerabilities, controls the correction workflow, manages deploys, and controls indicators, among other features.
In an increasingly digital world, developers are expected to build and deploy software faster than ever before. But this creates a big problem: security teams often can't keep up with the accelerated speed of software development - and are often seen as an obstacle to deliveries.
This ends up generating friction between the teams, and low cultural engagement on the part of the devs, who are suffocated between deliveries.
It is a dev-first platform - and that means that it was created thinking precisely about the routine, challenges, and obstacles of the developer, who gains greater protagonism and autonomy. For this, it fully integrates with the tools used by devs, such as, for example, Jira.
Bet on awareness and continuous training - Through People&Culture, Conviso Platform offers an AppSec training solution, with code challenges based on the day-to-day development of each financial institution.
Offers gamification to engage - Challenges via gamification promote team engagement and promote learning in an active way.
Each country has its own laws, decrees, and norms that guarantee citizens the right to privacy of their data when using the internet. These regulations usually describe a series of penalties for violations.
It is clear that application security should not be an investment made just to comply with regulations, but a practice made to offer products and services with more quality and security for users.
With the Conviso Platform, gain access to data and insights that provide a comprehensive and consistent view of AppSec risk at the enterprise level.
Our platform provides developers with the data they need to act quickly and accurately on each type of incident. It centralizes all relevant information, generating data and insights that allow you to fix vulnerabilities quickly and intelligently.
Analyze risks - From attack patterns defined by Miter's Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC). To mitigate application weaknesses, generate requirements based on OWASP ASVS (Application Security Verification Standard) - based on Miter's list of vulnerabilities. All these features are found in Secure by Design.
Threat Modeling - It is a search for the identification of scenarios that could allow an attacker to cause damage to an application. With this view of scenarios, security requirements are identified to mitigate or eliminate these scenarios. On the Conviso Platform, Threat Modeling is performed by Secure by Design.
Act proactively - Through Secure Pipeline, Conviso Platform integrates with code analysis tools, allowing proactive management of each new deployment carried out by development teams from financial institutions. It also unifies the results, providing an overview of vulnerabilities and providing insights for faster and more assertive fixes.
Monitor Constantly - Through Attack Surface, constantly identify, test, and monitor your attack surface, preventing security incidents with a proactive approach - prioritizing security.
With the mission of supporting the entire secure development cycle and accelerating AppSec maturity in companies, Conviso Platform is a SaaS solution that empowers developers to build more secure applications. It was built based on the OWASP SAMM, the maturity model that defines security practices that address the entire software lifecycle.
