Ensure continuous verification and strict access controls to protect applications from unauthorized access and threats.<\/h2>\n

Applications are the primary target of modern cyberattacks. From web-facing services and APIs to internal development pipelines and enterprise platforms, every application layer represents a potential attack surface. The challenge is not just protecting applications in production \u2014 it is embedding security throughout their entire lifecycle, from the first line of code to every certificate they depend on.<\/p>\n

At e-Xpert Solutions, our application security engineers bring deep technical expertise across web application firewalling, API protection, DevSecOps, and certificate lifecycle management. Since 2001, we have secured applications for organisations across the Swiss financial, industrial, healthcare, and luxury sectors \u2014 combining offensive security knowledge with practical, scalable implementation.<\/p>\n

Web Application Firewall (WAF) & API Protection<\/h3>\n

We deploy and operate Web Application Firewalls and API security controls using F5 Advanced WAF, Ubika WAAP, and AWS WAF \u2014 protecting applications and APIs from OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, injection attacks, bot traffic, and DDoS at the application layer. As an F5 Managed Service Provider (MSP), we operate a 24\/7 fully managed WAF service for organisations that need continuous application protection without the internal overhead of running it themselves. Our WAF deployments are aligned with Zero Trust principles: every request is verified, every API call is controlled.<\/p>\n

DevSecOps & Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC)<\/h3>\n

Security embedded in development is security that scales. Our engineers accompany organisations through their transition to DevSecOps \u2014 at both the technical and organisational levels. We define DevSecOps strategies, implement security controls in CI\/CD pipelines (SAST, DAST, SCA, infrastructure scanning), deploy Security Champion programmes, and deliver customised secure coding training. Our approach is pragmatic and based on real-world experience: we have delivered DevSecOps programmes for both large Swiss enterprises and mid-sized organisations, using tools including Snyk, Qualys, Picus, and Splunk.<\/p>\n

SSL\/TLS Certificate Lifecycle Management \u2014 SSLCert<\/a><\/h3>\n

Every application depends on SSL\/TLS certificates \u2014 and every expired or misconfigured certificate is a service interruption or a security incident waiting to happen. e-Xpert Solutions has developed SSLCert, a Swiss-designed Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) platform that automates the full certificate lifecycle across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments.<\/p>\n

SSLCert covers automatic network scanning and certificate discovery, centralised real-time inventory with expiry alerts, full lifecycle automation (request, issuance, deployment, renewal, revocation) with ACME protocol support, role-based access control (RBAC), full audit logs, and customisable compliance reports. It integrates with public and private CAs and adapts to any infrastructure through configurable connectors.<\/p>\n

SSLCert is proven in demanding sectors including finance, insurance, industry, healthcare, luxury, and sensitive public entities \u2014 and is available directly with a licence from e-Xpert Solutions.<\/p>\n

Zero Trust Application Access<\/h3>\n

Modern application access should never be based on network location alone. We implement Zero Trust application access architectures that enforce continuous identity verification, device posture checks, and least-privilege access policies before any user or workload reaches an application. This approach protects both cloud-native applications and legacy on-premises systems \u2014 eliminating implicit trust that attackers exploit through compromised credentials and lateral movement.<\/p>\n

Automated Code Scanning & CI\/CD Pipeline Security<\/h3>\n

We integrate automated security testing directly into your CI\/CD pipelines \u2014 enabling development teams to identify and resolve vulnerabilities at the earliest possible stage of the development lifecycle. Static application security testing (SAST), dynamic analysis (DAST), software composition analysis (SCA), and infrastructure scanning are configured to run as part of every build and release process, without slowing down delivery. Our engineers also validate external vulnerabilities through real testing \u2014 providing expert assessment of risk rather than raw scanner output.<\/p>\n

Cloud-Native Application Security<\/h3>\n

Cloud-native applications \u2014 built on microservices, containers, and serverless functions \u2014 require security controls that scale and adapt dynamically. We design and implement application security architectures for AWS and Microsoft Azure environments, ensuring that security policies follow workloads wherever they run. This includes API gateway security, container image scanning, secrets management, and cloud WAF integration.<\/p>\n

Why e-Xpert Solutions for Application Security?<\/h2>\n

Our application security practice is built on genuine offensive and defensive expertise. Our engineers hold advanced certifications and have contributed to the cybersecurity community through MITRE ATT&CK and SIGMA publications and CVE disclosures for vendors including Microsoft, F5, and Abacus. This means that when our engineers harden an application, they are applying knowledge of how attackers actually operate \u2014 not just implementing vendor checklists.<\/p>\n

We are an F5 Managed Service Provider, deploying and operating WAF and WAAP solutions at scale under our 24\/7 At-Defense SOC \u2014 certified ISO 27001 and covered by an ISAE 3000 assurance report. Application security monitoring is seamlessly integrated into SOC operations: WAF events, API anomalies, and certificate alerts all feed into our threat detection and response workflows.<\/p>\n

We have also developed SSLCert \u2014 our own Swiss-designed CLM platform \u2014 reflecting our commitment to building solutions that address real operational problems our clients face, rather than relying solely on third-party tools.<\/p>\n

We operate from our offices in Geneva (Plan-les-Ouates) and Lausanne, serving Swiss and international organisations across the financial, healthcare, industrial, luxury, and public sectors.<\/p>\n

Frequently Asked Questions \u2013 Application Security in Switzerland<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Q : What is a Web Application Firewall (WAF) and do I need one?” open=”on” open_toggle_text_color=”#F15D22″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” body_font_size=”1.1em” body_line_height=”1.4em” global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_font_size=”1.2em” toggle_line_height=”1.4em”]<\/p>\n

A Web Application Firewall (WAF) inspects and filters HTTP\/HTTPS traffic between the internet and your web applications \u2014 blocking common attacks such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and API abuse before they reach your application. Any organisation with internet-facing applications, APIs, or customer portals should have a WAF in place. Modern WAAP (Web Application and API Protection) platforms extend this to cover bot management, DDoS mitigation, and API-specific threats.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Q : What is DevSecOps and how is it different from traditional application security?” open_toggle_text_color=”#F15D22″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” body_font_size=”1.1em” body_line_height=”1.4em” global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_font_size=”1.2em” toggle_line_height=”1.4em” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

Traditional application security typically involves testing applications after they are built \u2014 finding vulnerabilities late in the development cycle when they are most expensive to fix. DevSecOps integrates security into every stage of the development lifecycle: threat modelling at design, security plugins in the IDE at coding, SAST\/DAST\/SCA scanning at build, penetration testing at release, and continuous monitoring in production. The result is applications that are more secure by design and a development process that does not treat security as a bottleneck.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Q : What is Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) and why does it matter?” open_toggle_text_color=”#F15D22″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” body_font_size=”1.1em” body_line_height=”1.4em” global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_font_size=”1.2em” toggle_line_height=”1.4em” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) is the practice of systematically managing the full lifecycle of SSL\/TLS certificates \u2014 from discovery and issuance through renewal, deployment, and revocation. Without CLM, organisations typically rely on spreadsheets and manual reminders \u2014 a process that fails as certificate volumes grow. A single expired certificate can take down a service, trigger a security alert, or cause a compliance finding. SSLCert, developed by e-Xpert Solutions, automates this entire process across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments.<\/p>\n
