Application Security Solutions

Secure your code, software supply chain, APIs and mobile applications without slowing down development.

Your developers are shipping fast. That’s the goal.

But when security is not embedded into the way software is built, vulnerabilities reach production, open-source components go untracked, and applications are exposed in environments you do not control.

In that complexity, vulnerabilities often go unnoticed until they are exploited.

Phase Pacific helps Australian organisations implement application security that works within real development environments. We deploy, configure and integrate security into your pipelines so protection happens automatically, not as an afterthought.

We support alignment with the ISM, Essential Eight and DISP, with local Australian expertise when it matters.

What Application Security Covers?

Application security spans multiple layers of the software lifecycle. Each capability below is a core part of a complete AppSec program:

Code & Supply Chain Security

Protect software at the source by identifying vulnerabilities in code and third-party dependencies before they reach production.

API & Application Layer Protection

Secure APIs and web applications from external threats, injection attacks and data leakage.

Runtime Application Security

Identify and respond to active threats while applications are running, not just during testing.

Bot & Automated Attack Protection

Protect applications from automated attacks that bypass traditional controls.

Data Security & Protection

Ensure sensitive data remains secure across cloud, application and storage environments.

How We Work With You

The most common AppSec failure isn’t buying the wrong tool. It’s buying the right tool and never properly embedding it. Security scanners that aren’t integrated into your CI/CD pipeline get skipped. Findings that aren’t triaged properly get ignored. Developers who weren’t involved in the rollout find workarounds.

We’ve seen it plenty of times, and it’s what we specifically set out to avoid.

When Phase Pacific comes on board, we help you choose the right combination of tools for where your organisation is right now, not where a vendor brochure says you should be. We configure everything to match your development workflow and compliance obligations. We integrate scanning into your pipelines so checks happen automatically, without someone having to remember to run them. And we work with your developers directly so the tools become part of how they work, rather than something the security team bolted on without asking.

Australian-based support is included. If something breaks or a critical vulnerability surfaces, you’re not logging a ticket into a global queue.

Real Outcomes from Australian Organisations

A government rail network reduced pre-deployment vulnerabilities by 30% after embedding static analysis into their CI/CD pipeline. Security issues were resolved during development instead of delaying releases.

An Australian government department eliminated large volumes of false positives by consolidating disconnected tools into a unified AppSec approach. Developers focused only on actionable issues, reducing rework and improving delivery speed.

A mining software provider and a global laboratory automation company both embedded application security directly into development workflows. The result was fewer post-release fixes, lower remediation costs and stronger client confidence in high-risk environments.

Our Application Security Solutions

Open Source & Supply Chain Risk (SCA)

Black Duck SCA gives you a complete picture of what's inside your applications. Every open-source component, every known vulnerability, every licence obligation. As supply chain attacks become more common, not knowing what's in your software is a genuine risk. Black Duck makes that visible and manageable.

Static Code Analysis

Coverity SAST analyses your source code to find security flaws before your application ever runs. Finding a vulnerability at the code stage costs a fraction of what it costs to fix in production. Coverity fits into your development workflow so that analysis happens as part of the build, not as a separate exercise.

Protocol Fuzz Testing

Defensics sends malformed, unexpected and boundary-breaking input at your applications and protocols to find the vulnerabilities that structured testing misses. It's particularly useful for embedded systems, networked devices and telecommunications infrastructure where edge cases can have serious consequences.

Unified AppSec Management

Polaris brings your application security testing tools together into a single environment. If your team is juggling multiple scanners with separate dashboards and disconnected findings, Polaris consolidates that into something you can actually act on. It also makes CI/CD integration significantly cleaner.

Interactive Application Security Testing

Seeker IAST monitors your application from the inside while it runs during testing. Because it can see what the application is actually doing, it identifies exploitable vulnerabilities with more accuracy and context than static analysis on its own. Fewer false positives, more actionable findings.

Application Security Posture Management

Software Risk Manager pulls together findings from across your security tools and environments and helps you work out what to fix first. When you're looking at thousands of vulnerabilities across dozens of applications, prioritisation is everything. This gives your security team a clear view of actual business risk rather than a raw list of issues.

Dynamic Application Security Testing

WhiteHat Continuous Dynamic tests your web applications while they're running, continuously scanning for exploitable weaknesses as your code changes. It gives you ongoing visibility into real-world exposure rather than a point-in-time snapshot.

Mobile Application Protection

Zimperium MAPS covers mobile security from development through to runtime on iOS and Android. It detects tampering, reverse engineering attempts and malicious activity on devices your organisation doesn't control. If your business has mobile apps in the field, this is the layer that protects them once they leave your hands.

Who We Work With

Our application security clients are typically security teams who need to scale their AppSec program without hiring a small army, engineering and DevOps leaders who want security in the pipeline without it becoming a blocker, and organisations in regulated sectors like Defence, telecommunications, financial services and government where the compliance stakes are high.

We work with organisations across Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and throughout Australia and New Zealand.

Why Phase Pacific

We’ve been working with Australian telecommunications, Defence and enterprise organisations for over 20 years on complex testing and security environments. That experience matters when you’re trying to make a tool work in a real environment, not a demo.

We’re not a reseller who hands you a licence key and a PDF. We implement, integrate and support everything we recommend. Flexible payment terms are available if budget timing is a consideration.

Phase Pacific is pleased to offer flexible payment terms.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is application security testing?

Application security testing is the process of finding vulnerabilities in software before they can be exploited. It includes techniques like static code analysis, dynamic testing, interactive testing and software composition analysis for open-source risk. The right combination depends on your technology stack and where you are in the development lifecycle.

What is the difference between SAST, DAST and IAST?

SAST analyses your source code before the application runs. DAST tests a running application from the outside, the way an attacker would. IAST monitors the application from the inside during testing and combines the advantages of both. Most mature AppSec programs use all three at different stages.

Does Phase Pacific support Australian compliance requirements?

Yes. We help organisations align their AppSec programs with the Australian Government Information Security Manual, the Essential Eight and Defence Industry Security Program requirements. If you're working towards a specific framework, we can map our recommendations to it.

Do you just sell software, or do you help with implementation as well?

Both. We supply, configure and support everything we recommend. That includes integrating tools into your CI/CD pipelines, training your team and providing ongoing Australian-based support.

Which industries do you specialise in?

We have the most experience in telecommunications, Defence and government, financial services, healthcare and critical infrastructure. These are sectors where the technical requirements are complex and the compliance obligations are significant.

How do I know where to start?

Most organisations start with a conversation about their current environment, what they're already doing, and where the biggest gaps are. We offer a free consultation to help you work that out before committing to anything.
