Application Vulnerability Management

Please summaries or attach your application vulnerability management processes and procedures?

At viaSocket, our vulnerability management approach prioritizes protection at the network, application, and code levels, leveraging leading cloud and security platforms. Our process includes:

• Perimeter Protection: We use Cloudflare WAF to mitigate critical vulnerabilities such as SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks. Rate limiting and IP reputation controls are enabled to defend against abusive traffic.

• Cloud Security: Our backend runs on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) in Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), with no public internal IPs, VPC isolation, and IAM role management. GCP Security Command Center flags misconfigurations or security risks.

• Authentication: We use OAuth for secure authentication, and all API communication is encrypted over HTTPS.

• Monitoring: Atatus, Cloudflare, and GCP tools provide real-time performance, error, and security monitoring, helping us detect anomalies and investigate security issues quickly.

• Incident Response: We monitor runtime systems continuously and act based on predefined alerting rules. Our team uses GCP and Atatus logs to respond to suspicious behavior or security events.

Ongoing Improvements:
We are currently integrating automated tools to improve our handling of:

• Vulnerable dependencies (SCA) – tools like Snyk or Trivy

• Static code vulnerabilities (SAST) – tools like Semgrep

These upgrades will ensure we catch vulnerabilities early in development and enhance compliance with common industry expectations.
