Optiv Application Security

Optiv Application Security is an enterprise advisory and technical consulting service designed to help organizations embed security into every phase of their software development lifecycle (SDLC) and DevSecOps pipelines. By pairing seasoned application security consultants with modern development practices, Optiv enables development and security teams to identify, remediate, and prevent vulnerabilities in production-grade software applications.

The service engages across multi-cloud environments, containerized architectures, and legacy software stacks, delivering scoped technical assessments and strategic program roadmaps. Core consulting capabilities encompass comprehensive threat modeling, manual and automated static source code reviews (SAST), dynamic application security assessments (DAST), software composition analysis (SCA) governance, and developer secure coding training. These engagements guide engineering teams in establishing resilient security gates without degrading release velocity.

Optiv Application Security integrates directly into modern enterprise workflows, interfacing with CI/CD tools such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and Jira ticketing systems. Key enterprise use cases include auditing mission-critical financial applications prior to public release, securing APIs and microservices architectures, remediating OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, and achieving compliance with standards such as PCI-DSS and SOC 2. By operationalizing security within engineering workflows, Optiv helps organizations build inherently resilient software and reduce application-layer risk.
