Product security — safety throughout the lifecycle
Software product security is not a separate phase — it's a continuous process that begins with design and continues throughout the product's lifecycle. In our custom product solutions, security is built into design, development, and ongoing maintenance.
Security as a design starting point
Security must be built into software from the start, not added afterwards. This means the security perspective is considered in requirements specification, architecture design, technology choices, and the development process.
Security added after the fact is typically more expensive, less effective, and leaves structural vulnerabilities. Security decisions made during design affect the entire product lifecycle.
Antesto follows secure software development principles in all projects. Security is built into the development process — not a separate checkpoint.
Secure development practices
Secure software development is based on established practices that prevent the most common vulnerabilities. These practices are part of everyday development work — not separate security projects.
- Input validation and sanitisation at all interfaces
- Strong authentication and access rights management
- Data encryption at rest and in transit
- Dependency management and regular updates
- Code reviews from a security perspective
- Automated security tests in the development pipeline
Vulnerability management
New vulnerabilities are continuously discovered in all software and their dependencies. Proactive vulnerability management is essential to keeping the product secure.
Antesto actively monitors security bulletins and regularly updates customers' products. Critical vulnerabilities are fixed immediately, others as part of the normal development cycle.
- Continuous dependency security scanning
- Regular security updates
- Prioritised fixing of critical vulnerabilities
- Vulnerability reporting and tracking
Compliance and auditing
Even an SME's software product must comply with data protection legislation and industry-specific requirements. Applications processing personal data in particular must meet GDPR requirements.
Regular security auditing helps identify areas for improvement and ensures the product meets requirements. The scope and frequency of audits are scaled to the product's risk level.
- GDPR compliance
- Logging and traceability
- Regular security audits
- Documentation and process descriptions
Security incident management
Security incidents can happen despite the best protection. What matters is that incidents are responded to quickly and systematically. A pre-planned incident management process minimises damage and speeds recovery.
In our custom product solutions, incident management is designed as part of product support: incidents are identified quickly, contained, remediated, and lessons are captured across the product's lifecycle.
