Application Security

Build Fast, Deploy Securely

Modern applications are fast, agile, and distributed across cloud-native environments. But in the race to deliver digital experiences, security often lags. Web apps, APIs, and microservices—now the core of business innovation—are also among the most targeted surfaces by attackers.   

 

Proactive helps enterprises shift security left and integrate it deep into the application lifecycle. Our application security approach protects web apps, APIs, and software stacks—whether hosted in the cloud, delivered as a service, or deployed on-premises. We enable real-time threat detection, automated controls, and intelligent visibility so development never comes at the cost of security. 

Adaptive Access and Identity Controls   

Apply contextual, risk-based access to applications and services based on user and device trust.

API Security and Traffic Inspection   

Authenticate, monitor, and secure APIs from abuse, misuse, and sensitive data exposure.

Automated Vulnerability Management   

Identify and fix security gaps in code, configurations, and dependencies before they’re exploited.

End-to-End Application Protection   

Safeguard applications at every stage—from development and testing to production deployment.

Integrated DevSecOps Workflows   

Embed security into CI/CD pipelines with automated scans and policy enforcement.

Runtime Threat Detection and Blocking   

Prevent attacks such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and zero-day exploits in real-time.

Why Application Security Must Evolve   

 

Applications Are the New Perimeter   

In cloud-native and hybrid environments, applications are the primary point of interaction. Attackers target them relentlessly, probing for misconfigurations, unpatched libraries, or exposed APIs. Traditional firewalls and siloed scanning tools cannot defend modern architectures. Proactive’s solutions deliver continuous application protection from development through deployment.   

 

APIs Are Highly Exposed and Often Under protected   

With the rise of microservices and platform-driven business models, APIs have become mission-critical—and risky. Many security breaches exploit gaps in API protection, such as broken authentication, excessive data exposure, or lack of rate limiting. Our API security framework ensures that APIs are authenticated, encrypted, and monitored continuously.   

 

Security Needs to Be Developer-Friendly   

Security controls should empower developers—not block them. We integrate directly into development tools and CI/CD pipelines, automating scans, highlighting vulnerabilities, and enforcing policies without slowing down releases.   

 

Proactive’s Application Security Solutions   

 

Proactive delivers full-stack application security capabilities designed for modern, fast-moving development environments. From static code analysis to runtime protection, we enable secure software delivery without compromise.   

 

Application Protection and Runtime Controls   

  • Defend against OWASP Top 10 attacks, bot abuse, and credential stuffing   
  • Real-time monitoring and blocking of suspicious behaviour at the app layer   
  • Web Application Firewall (WAF) integration with custom rule sets   

 

API Security and Governance   

  • Secure authentication, encryption, and input validation across API endpoints   
  • Traffic inspection to detect abnormal usage, injection attempts, or credential abuse   
  • API discovery and classification to expose hidden or undocumented APIs   

 

DevSecOps Enablement   

  • Integrate security into build, test, and release cycles with automated tooling   
  • Enforce secure coding practices and open-source component scanning   
  • Support for popular CI/CD platforms, containers, and serverless architectures   

 

Vulnerability Management and Risk Prioritization   

  • Continuous scanning for misconfigurations, code flaws, and exposed secrets   
  • Risk scoring to prioritize remediation based on exploitability and asset criticality   
  • Integration with issue tracking systems to streamline fix workflows   

 

Identity-Aware Application Access   

  • Context-driven access controls based on device trust, user role, and behaviour   
  • Application-layer identity enforcement using SSO, MFA, and token validation   
  • Real-time access revocation in response to policy violations or threat signals   

 

Why Businesses Trust Proactive for Application Security
