Application Security
Ensure continuous verification and strict access controls to protect applications from unauthorized access and threats.
Applications are at the heart of modern business operations — and increasingly, at the heart of cyberattacks. From web-facing services to internal tools and APIs, poorly secured applications expose organisations to injection attacks, data breaches, and compliance failures.
Swiss Expert Group brings together the combined expertise of e-Xpert Solutions, eb-Qual, and One Step Beyond to deliver comprehensive application security services across Switzerland. Whether you need to secure existing applications, embed security into your development lifecycle, or protect cloud-native workloads, our teams have the depth to help.
Our Application Security Capabilities :
Web Application & API Protection (WAAP)
We deploy and manage Web Application Firewalls (WAF) and API security controls to block malicious traffic, prevent injection attacks, and protect your applications and workloads from modern threats. Our solutions are aligned with Zero Trust principles, ensuring that every request is verified and every access decision is explicit.
DevSecOps & Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC)
Security must be integrated throughout the software development lifecycle — not bolted on at the end. We help development teams embed security from design through to deployment, addressing vulnerabilities proactively and reducing the cost of remediation.
Automated Code Scanning & CI/CD Security
We automate code scanning and vulnerability assessments within your CI/CD pipelines, ensuring that security checks are part of every build and release process. This enables fast, secure delivery without slowing down your development teams.
Zero Trust for Applications
We help organisations apply Zero Trust principles to their application layer — ensuring continuous verification, least-privilege access, and strict controls that prevent unauthorised access regardless of where users or workloads are located.
Cloud-Native Application Security
As applications and development teams grow in the cloud, security practices must scale with them. We design and implement security controls that adapt dynamically to cloud-native environments, maintaining resilience as your architecture evolves.
Why Swiss Expert Group for Application Security?
Endpoint security at Swiss Expert Group draws on the combined expertise of three specialised member companies:
e-Xpert Solutions brings deep cybersecurity consulting and implementation experience, including a Swiss-based Security Operations Center (SOC) certified ISO 27001 and covered by an ISAE 3000 assurance report — providing operational monitoring and incident response capabilities directly linked to endpoint threat detection.
eb-Qual contributes specialised expertise in ICT and network infrastructure, helping organisations enforce endpoint security policies within their broader network and infrastructure environment — from device compliance controls to network segmentation.
One Step Beyond, a Microsoft Solutions Partner since 2017, brings cloud-native expertise with a strong focus on Microsoft environments — securing endpoints in Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 deployments, including Microsoft Defender and Intune-based device management.
Together, our teams cover the full spectrum: from strategy and assessment through implementation and managed operations. We serve organisations across the financial, healthcare, industrial, and public sectors, operating from our offices in Geneva, Gland, Lausanne, Givisiez, and Fribourg.

Frequently Asked Questions – Application Security in Switzerland
Q : What is Application Security?
Application security encompasses the practices, tools, and processes used to protect software applications from threats and vulnerabilities. It covers areas including web application firewalls (WAF), API protection, secure coding practices, vulnerability scanning, DevSecOps, and Zero Trust access controls applied at the application layer.
Q : What is the difference between a WAF and API security?
A Web Application Firewall (WAF) filters and monitors HTTP traffic between the internet and a web application, blocking common attacks such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS). API security extends these controls to protect the APIs that applications use to communicate — addressing threats such as API abuse, broken authentication, and excessive data exposure. Modern Web Application and API Protection (WAAP) solutions address both together.
Q : What is DevSecOps?
DevSecOps is the practice of integrating security into every stage of the software development lifecycle — from design and coding through testing, deployment, and operations. Rather than treating security as a final check, DevSecOps embeds automated security testing, code scanning, and policy enforcement directly into CI/CD pipelines.
Q : Which application security technologies does Swiss Expert Group work with?
Swiss Expert Group implements and manages application security solutions from AWS, F5, Microsoft, and Ubika, selecting the right platform based on your application architecture, cloud environment, and operational requirements.
