Secure design

Designing secure applications, networks, and embedded systems is a complex and challenging task. At Assured Security Consultants, we understand the intricacies involved and offer comprehensive secure design services to ensure your systems are built with security at their core. Our team of experienced security experts is here to assist you throughout the design process, providing valuable insights and guidance to help you achieve robust and resilient security.

Secure Design is important: incorporating security from the initial design phase is essential to mitigate potential vulnerabilities and protect your systems from evolving cyber threats. A well-designed secure system not only prevents security breaches but also ensures compliance with industry standards and regulations, enhances user trust, and protects sensitive data.

An overview of our Secure Design Services

Application Security

Our application security design services focus on integrating security practices into the software development lifecycle. We provide:

  • Threat Modeling: Identifying and analyzing potential threats to your application to develop effective mitigation strategies.
  • Security Architecture Review: Evaluating your application's architecture to ensure it adheres to security best practices and industry standards.
  • Secure Coding Guidelines: Providing guidance on secure coding practices to prevent common vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and buffer overflows.
  • Security Requirements Definition: Defining and documenting security requirements to be incorporated into the development process.

Network Security

Our network security design services ensure your network infrastructure is secure against unauthorized access and cyber threats. We offer:

  • Network Architecture Review: Assessing your network architecture to identify potential security weaknesses and recommend improvements.
  • Segmentation and Zoning: Designing network segments and security zones to contain and control access to sensitive areas.
  • Firewall and Intrusion Detection Systems: Advising on the configuration and deployment of firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), and other network security devices.
  • Secure Communication Protocols: Recommending and implementing secure communication protocols such as TLS, VPNs, and encrypted tunnels.

Embedded Systems

Our embedded systems security design services address the unique challenges of securing embedded devices and IoT systems. We provide:

  • Secure Boot and Firmware Integrity: Implementing secure boot processes and verifying firmware integrity to prevent unauthorized modifications.
  • Hardware Security Modules (HSM): Utilizing HSMs to protect cryptographic keys and sensitive data within embedded systems.
  • Device Authentication and Authorization: Designing robust authentication and authorization mechanisms to ensure only authorized devices and users can access the system.
  • Secure Communication and Data Storage: Ensuring secure communication channels and encrypted data storage for embedded devices.
