Tarlogic Code Security Audit is a professional service that performs static application security testing (SAST) on source code to identify vulnerabilities and security flaws without executing the application. The service uses automated SAST tools to analyze source code and detect security issues through white-box auditing techniques. The audit process involves automated analysis of the entire source code using SAST solutions appropriate for the programming language and framework. After the automated scan, Tarlogic's security analysts perform false positive filtering, often with assistance from the development team. The analysts review results to validate findings, identify false negatives, and document bad development practices found in the code. The service analyzes all possible source code execution flows to provide comprehensive coverage. Since it is a static analysis approach, the audit has no impact on production environments. Results are documented in a report that details all discovered vulnerabilities, provides descriptions of each issue, and offers potential solutions. The service aims to identify vulnerabilities before they reach production environments, helping organizations avoid exposing high-impact security issues. It also helps prevent the effort required to mitigate vulnerabilities late in the software development lifecycle when changes to core modules can create bottlenecks.
