Our client, a Fortune 500 global leader in both hardware and software solutions, consistently delivers new innovative products to the market, as well as refines the existing ones. Each release is subjected to an intensive verification process to ensure peak performance, security, and compliance with the highest industry standards.
Building on a history of our successful collaboration, this industry titan entrusted NIX with one of the most strategically critical phases of their product life cycle: cybersecurity code analysis.
Our work plays a key role in identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities early in the development process—before they reach end-users and evolve into costly, high-risk threats with potential reputational damage. This partnership underscores the client’s deep commitment to protecting customer data, preserving brand integrity, and maintaining its position as a trusted global provider.
We allocated a dedicated team of security specialists possessing comprehensive expertise across key development areas and programming languages. Their diverse skill sets allow us to tailor expert groups to each specific case, ensuring the most effective vulnerability detection and mitigation strategies.
Our engineers conduct security assessments on the client’s proprietary software, as well as third-party services that the company plans to integrate into its development cycle.
The code review process combines manual expertise with automated efficiency to ensure thorough and reliable security validation across all components of the client’s software ecosystem.
We begin by scanning the codebase using automated tools to establish a baseline of known vulnerabilities. Depending on the software type, we apply tools such as Black Duck Binary Analysis to detect issues in third-party libraries, Protecode to uncover questionable dependencies or licensing concerns, and more. These scans provide a broad overview and help us prioritize areas that need deeper inspection.
Since automated tools alone aren’t enough to ensure airtight security, our experts manually analyze the source code to catch subtle issues—like logic flaws, insecure configurations, and rare edge-case vulnerabilities—that automated systems might miss. This manual approach requires a high level of security expertise and deep familiarity with both the client’s architecture and secure coding principles. It’s a critical layer in detecting vulnerabilities before they make it into production.
Additionally, our team analyzes security reports generated by tools like Checkmarx, Coverity, and DMSCA, which help automate the detection of known vulnerabilities, as well as AppAudit, which assesses security risks in applications post-installation and removal.
Once vulnerabilities are identified, NIX experts categorize them by severity—blocker, high, medium, or low—and compile a comprehensive report. This report is then delivered to the client’s security architect, who determines which issues require immediate resolution and which could be addressed in future system updates.
The process is repeated on a monthly or quarterly basis, following an iterative model. Each cycle begins with rechecking previously flagged vulnerabilities to confirm they’ve been addressed. We then assess new code changes and integrations, maintaining continuous oversight throughout the development life cycle. This flow ensures nothing falls through the cracks and allows us to quickly adapt our approach as new risks or priorities emerge.
NIX plays a critical role in helping our Fortune 500 client maintain the highest level of product security across their software suite. We actively support their efforts through continuous process refinement and the integration of cutting-edge security tools.
This ongoing collaboration empowers the client to stay ahead of potential threats and mitigate vulnerabilities before they cause any harm, safeguarding both its reputation and customers’ data along with stakeholder trust.
