Leading cybersecurity firm LE Global Services (LGMS) recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with inspections, certification and testing provider TUV Nord Malaysia to launch an advanced software security testing assurance program. “The security testing assurance program is an important step for companies who are keen to protect themselves against the growing cybersecurity threat posed by hackers,” said Fong. Software security assurance can deliver that peace of mind by getting security experts to “attack the software” via extensive source code review and penetration testing to find vulnerabilities,” he said. When used together with automated tools and manual penetration testing, code review can significantly increase the cost effectiveness of an application security verification effort,” he said. The group provides a broad range of advisory, service, and testing services in the mobility, industrial services, international, natural resources and training and human resources fields.
