Unseen Application Vulnerabilities Could Be Costing You
As software vulnerabilities rise, securing applications becomes increasingly difficult. With the rapid growth of web apps, APIs, mobile apps, and more, identifying and fixing vulnerabilities is more challenging than ever.
Securing your software supply chain—spanning first-party code, open-source libraries, developer tools, and cloud configurations—is critical. Without robust safeguards, modern application attacks, including supply chain threats, can lead to breaches, fines, and legal risks. Yet, many organizations rely solely on occasional scans, which fall short of comprehensive protection.

The ApXell AppSec Advisory Services Edge
ApXell meets you at any stage of your AppSec journey. Our Advisory Services are tailored to streamline your efforts, focusing on what matters most—whether it’s threat modeling, strengthening your software development lifecycle (SDLC), optimizing your technology stack, or securing executive support.
Our goal is to pinpoint opportunities to enhance your AppSec program and equip you with the tools and expertise to drive improvements.
Secure SDLC : Strengthening Your Application Security
Are you looking to measure how effectively your application security program protects sensitive data, defends against modern threats, or meets regulatory standards (NIST, PCI, HIPAA, NYDFS)? Do you want to align your development processes with your overall security strategy, while considering your budget and resources? Struggling with developer engagement or tool adoption?
ApeXell’s Secure SDLC services are here to help. We start with an interview-driven assessment to understand your current security maturity within your software development processes. Our AppSec experts then collaborate with you to evaluate your security posture and uncover areas for improvement in your people, processes, and technologies.
From there, we’ll provide a clear, actionable roadmap to reduce risks and help you achieve your security objectives. If needed, we can also support you in building out elements of your program, such as developer security training, security champions, governance, tool implementation, threat modeling, and security testing.
Threat Modeling: Identifying and Mitigating Potential Risks
You can’t protect what you don’t see. Our threat modeling methodology takes a comprehensive approach, analyzing your application and its runtime environment from both architectural and user perspectives to uncover potential threats. We’ll create detailed models that visualize existing security controls and identify threats specific to your application and the data it handles.
Based on our analysis, we’ll assess the likelihood and impact of each threat on your systems or data. Accurate threat modeling helps spot architecture and design flaws early, saving you time and effort later, while enabling more focused testing to validate your application’s security controls.
The Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) and Apexell's Approach
The Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) is a nonprofit organization focused on improving software security across the globe. OWASP provides widely recognized resources and frameworks to help organizations build secure applications. One of its most important contributions is the OWASP Top 10, a list of the most critical web application security risks. This list serves as an essential guide for organizations looking to improve their security posture and protect their applications from vulnerabilities.
As cyber threats become more sophisticated, organizations must assess their application security regularly. At Apexell, we leverage the OWASP Top 10 to guide our evaluation and assessment process. Here’s how we use the framework to evaluate and strengthen your organization’s application security:
1
Injection Attacks (e.g., SQL, OS Commanding)
We assess how well your application validates and sanitizes user inputs to prevent injection attacks, which can lead to unauthorized access or data corruption.
2
Broken Authentication
We examine your authentication and session management practices, ensuring that systems are resistant to attacks like credential stuffing or brute force attacks, which could compromise sensitive data.
3
Sensitive Data Exposure
We review how your application handles sensitive data, ensuring strong encryption practices and secure data storage and transmission methods to prevent leaks and unauthorized access.
4
XML External Entities (XXE)
We test for vulnerabilities in your XML parser configurations that could allow attackers to manipulate or leak internal systems, potentially causing serious damage.
5
Broken Access Control
We evaluate how well your application enforces access controls, ensuring users only have access to resources they're authorized to view or modify, preventing privilege escalation.
6
Security Misconfiguration
We inspect your system configurations, server settings, and deployment practices to identify common misconfigurations that can expose your application to attacks.
7
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
We test for potential XSS vulnerabilities in your application, ensuring it sanitizes inputs to prevent attackers from injecting malicious scripts that could compromise users' sessions.
8
Insecure Deserialization
We check whether your application properly handles serialized data, preventing attackers from exploiting weak deserialization routines to execute malicious code.
9
Using Components with Known Vulnerabilities
We conduct an analysis of third-party libraries and components used within your application to ensure they are up-to-date and free from known vulnerabilities, which could serve as an entry point for attackers.
10
Insufficient Logging & Monitoring
We assess your application's logging and monitoring systems, ensuring that suspicious activities are recorded and can be reviewed, helping your team detect and respond to incidents in a timely manner.
Apexell's Approach
At Apexell, we apply the OWASP Top 10 not just as a checklist but as a holistic methodology to evaluate your organization’s application security. We conduct thorough assessments, combining manual analysis and automated tools to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses across your software ecosystem. Based on our findings, we work closely with your team to prioritize remediation efforts, reduce risks, and build a robust security strategy.
Our approach includes:
Ongoing support
Providing guidance on maintaining a secure software development lifecycle (SDLC) aligned with OWASP best practices.
By aligning with the OWASP Top 10, Apexell ensures that your application security is proactive, effective, and resilient to the evolving threat landscape.
