Cybersecurity 101

Source Code Analysis with OnDefend

Billions of Lines of Code Reviewed and Counting

Automated SAST tools are good at finding known vulnerabilities. Risk that actually leads to compromise, including business logic flaws, chained vulnerabilities, and insecure code patterns, require human expertise.

OnDefend’s source code analysis combines automated scanning with expert manual review to identify the issues that matter before your code is shipped.

What We Test

Source code analysis with OnDefend covers every layer of your stack, including:

  • Web Applications: Front-end, back-end, and framework code (React, Angular, Node.js, .NET, Java, PHP, Python)
  • Desktop Applications: Windows, macOS, and Linux clients (C/C++, C#, Java)
  • Mobile Applications: Native iOS (Swift, Objective-C) and Android (Kotlin, Java), plus cross-platform frameworks
  • APIs and Web Services: REST, GraphQL, SOAP, and microservices
  • Cloud and Infrastructure as Code: Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, serverless functions
  • Embedded and IoT Firmware: Device-resident code where source is available

By uncovering issues early in the SDLC, organizations can reduce risk, lower remediation costs, and improve developer security awareness before vulnerabilities reach production.

What You Get

The outcomes you walk away from a source code analysis with OnDefend include:

  • Vulnerabilities caught early in the SDLC, when fixes are fastest and least costly
  • Reduced attack surface across web, desktop, mobile, API, and cloud environments
  • A prioritized findings report with severity ratings, affected code locations, and remediation steps
  • Compliance evidence for PCI DSS, HIPAA, ISO 27001, and related frameworks
