Application access should never be based on network location alone. We implement Zero Trust application access architectures using Microsoft Entra ID for continuous identity verification, Azure API Management for API governance and access control, and Microsoft Entra ID Application Proxy for secure remote access to on-premises applications \u2014 without VPN.<\/p>\n

Every application access request is verified against identity, device posture, and context before access is granted \u2014 regardless of whether the application is cloud-native, hybrid, or legacy on-premises. This Zero Trust application access model eliminates the implicit trust that attackers exploit through compromised credentials and lateral movement in application environments.<\/p>\n

One Step Beyond’s application security practice is built on Microsoft cloud expertise \u2014 the application security stack that is natively integrated into Azure, Microsoft 365, and GitHub. As a Microsoft Solutions Partner for Modern Work & Security, our engineers understand how Microsoft Defender for DevOps, Azure WAF, Defender for APIs, and GitHub Advanced Security work together as an integrated security architecture \u2014 not as separate point solutions.<\/p>\n

Our approach to application security is security-by-design: we embed security controls into the development pipeline and cloud architecture from the outset, rather than adding them as an afterthought. This reduces the cost of remediation, improves developer adoption of security practices, and ensures that every application deployed on Azure is protected at runtime, at the API layer, and at the access layer.<\/p>\n

For application security platforms beyond Microsoft \u2014 F5 Advanced WAF and F5 MSP managed service, Ubika WAAP, AWS WAF, and DevSecOps toolchains using Snyk, Qualys, or Picus \u2014 these capabilities are delivered by our Swiss Expert Group partners e-Xpert Solutions (Geneva, Lausanne) and eb-Qual (Givisiez, Kloten), who hold certified expertise across the full application security vendor landscape.<\/p>\n

Microsoft Defender for DevOps is a cloud security service that integrates security scanning directly into GitHub and Azure DevOps pipelines \u2014 providing static application security testing (SAST) through CodeQL, infrastructure-as-code (IaC) scanning for misconfigured Terraform, Bicep, and ARM templates, secret detection to identify exposed credentials in code, and open-source dependency vulnerability assessment. It surfaces findings directly in pull requests and developer workflows \u2014 enabling developers to fix security issues at the point of introduction, before vulnerable code reaches production. This is the foundation of a DevSecOps programme built on the Microsoft ecosystem.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Q : What is the difference between Azure WAF and Microsoft Defender for APIs?” open=”on” open_toggle_text_color=”#0C71C3″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” body_font_size=”1.1em” body_line_height=”1.4em” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_font_size=”1.2em” closed_toggle_font_size=”1.2em” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF) protects web applications and APIs from network-layer and application-layer attacks \u2014 SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, DDoS, and bot abuse \u2014 by inspecting and filtering HTTP\/HTTPS traffic. It is a preventive control. Microsoft Defender for APIs operates at the semantic layer \u2014 analysing API traffic for behavioural anomalies, sensitive data exposure, authentication abuse, and OWASP API Security Top 10 risks. It is a detective control. Both are complementary: Azure WAF blocks known attack patterns, while Defender for APIs detects novel API threats and misuse that WAF rules do not catch. One Step Beyond implements both as part of a comprehensive Azure API security architecture.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Q : What is GitHub Advanced Security and do we need it if we use Azure DevOps?” open=”on” open_toggle_text_color=”#0C71C3″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” body_font_size=”1.1em” body_line_height=”1.4em” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_font_size=”1.2em” closed_toggle_font_size=”1.2em” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

GitHub Advanced Security provides CodeQL-powered code scanning, secret scanning, and dependency review for repositories hosted on GitHub. If your organisation uses Azure DevOps rather than GitHub, equivalent capabilities are available through Microsoft Defender for DevOps \u2014 which integrates with Azure DevOps pipelines to provide IaC scanning, secret detection, and dependency vulnerability assessment. One Step Beyond implements the appropriate toolset based on your source control platform \u2014 GitHub Advanced Security for GitHub organisations, Defender for DevOps for Azure DevOps environments, and a hybrid approach for organisations using both.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Q : How does Zero Trust apply to application access?” open=”on” open_toggle_text_color=”#0C71C3″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” body_font_size=”1.1em” body_line_height=”1.4em” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_font_size=”1.2em” closed_toggle_font_size=”1.2em” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Zero Trust application access means that no user should be granted access to an application based solely on their network location \u2014 even if they are on the corporate network. Every application access request is verified against four factors: identity (authenticated through Microsoft Entra ID with MFA), device (compliant and managed through Microsoft Intune), location (matching defined access policies), and application sensitivity (requiring appropriate assurance level). For on-premises applications that cannot be migrated to the cloud, Microsoft Entra ID Application Proxy provides Zero Trust remote access without VPN \u2014 extending the same Conditional Access policies to legacy applications.<\/p>\n

Application security controls are directly relevant to multiple Swiss regulatory requirements. FINMA circular 2023\/1 on operational risks requires financial institutions to implement application security testing and secure development practices. The Swiss nLPD requires privacy by design \u2014 meaning security controls must be embedded in applications from the outset. ISO 27001 Annex A.14 requires secure development policies, application security testing, and protection of test data. PCI-DSS 6.3 requires web application protection (WAF or code review) for applications processing payment card data. One Step Beyond configures Azure application security controls with audit evidence and documentation aligned to each of these frameworks.<\/p>\n
