Softtek has been a trusted nearshore partner for our client for over a decade, providing continuous security audit and remediation services for its portfolio of over 2,500 applications. We take a solution-agnostic approach, conducting ongoing black box testing to identify real-time security threats in live environments. After analyzing the applications, we provide remediation recommendations and re-scan for validation after improvements are implemented.
Our client also leveraged our global nearshore presence, cybersecurity, AMS, and development capabilities for other projects during this partnership, two of which include:
Migrate all databases to the cloud, as it provides enhanced security features over on-premises and improves remote data access.
Provide application development and management services for the client’s global scheduling platform by replacing individual applications with a mobile version using adaptive windows. This helped HR and area managers conduct scheduling and compensation activities with greater transparency while reducing application management costs for the platform.
As a trusted partner for over a decade, Softtek continues to serve our client’s growing application portfolio through a digital security partnership that matures as their needs evolve. During this time, the analysis of an expanding collection of application vulnerability data has unveiled areas of opportunity to mitigate risk and given way to valuable best practices needed to stay one step ahead of sophisticated cyber threats. Leveraging Softtek’s security practice, our client has continuously matured its digital security practices and has refocused more of its team on new growth initiatives.
