Kiuwan Primary Use Case

Mustufa Bhavnagarwala - PeerSpot reviewer

Kiuwan is useful because it provides functions related to secure code review, source code review, detection of security vulnerabilities, and development of proper input validations to get proper output and coding to see if all the systems in our environment are properly used. Some SQL queries are written at the back end or at the server-side code, and the tool helps to check how they have been written. The tool helps us find if there is an issue, like whether an SQL injection attack has occurred in some SQL queries or not, meaning it helps deal with OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities and some other vulnerabilities that a user can find through source code review. The tool also helps protect sensitive data, including passwords or encryption keys.

I am utilizing Kiuwan for quick and efficient scans, specifically static scanning for web applications. This includes checking the application's code base and dependencies, known as SaaS scans. In the first quarter, there is a "code-based security and insight" tab where we can review the application's code for any vulnerabilities arising from dependencies. We then analyze these vulnerabilities and provide solutions for mitigating them.

Security consultant at Entelgy Innotec Security

We use Kiuwan to assess the code, resolve issues, and showcase technical indicators. These indicators reveal the number of errors over a timeline and offer guidance on addressing issues related to business servers. We haven't integrated Kiuwan with additional tools; it operates as a standalone application and isn't integrated into the development life cycle.

Information Security Officer at Umniah

We use the solution for in-house development. In one of the cases, we use it for some applications that we need to create something from scratch. 

What we are considering more than anything else is maybe its quality of performance. We are looking for security vulnerabilities. I'm an Information Security Officer and that's why we are looking for vulnerabilities more than the quality of the code or the performance, however, it's great that it gives more detailed information about performance and the quality of the code. I'm actually looking to try another technology, to see if there's something we can do around static tests.
