Post-Launch Review: Cleaning Up Holiday Vulnerabilities
Launched new features? Perform a Vulnerability Analysis to clean insecure code before year-end. Immediate DevSecOps security with expert Cybersecurity Services.
December is synonymous with speed in software development. IT teams rush to launch new App features, update the online store, or deploy that special “Landing Page” for the holiday campaign.
In that race against the clock, security is often sacrificed for functionality. API keys are left hardcoded to save time, “temporary” ports are opened and never closed, and code review is postponed until “January.”
This accumulation of risk is what we call Security Technical Debt. And cybercriminals are waiting to collect it.
At Hacking Mode, we help your team clean house before the year ends. Today we explain why a Post-Launch Review is the critical missing step in your Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
The Danger of the Holiday “Push to Prod”
When code is deployed in a hurry, common yet devastating vulnerabilities are introduced:
- Sensitive Data Exposure: Debug logs enabled in production revealing customer data.
- Insecure Cloud Configurations: Public S3 buckets or passwordless databases.
- Vulnerable Dependencies: Using outdated third-party libraries to add features quickly.
If you don’t audit these changes now, your company will enter 2026 with open backdoors.
Hacking Red: DevSecOps Cybersecurity Services
You don’t need to stop innovation to be secure. Our Cybersecurity Services integrate into your workflow to detect flaws without slowing down the business.
1. Automated Vulnerability Scanning (DAST)
We launch dynamic scanners against your newly updated web applications and APIs. We identify SQL injections, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), and SSL configuration issues in minutes.
2. Static Code Review (SAST)
We analyze source code “at rest.” We look for insecure patterns, exposed secrets, and flawed business logic before they are exploited.
3. Web Application Pentesting
For your most critical assets, a human expert attempts to break your application logic. We verify if it’s possible to buy products for $0.00 or access another user’s account (IDOR), common errors in rapid developments.
Secure Code: The Best New Year’s Resolution
Adopting a DevSecOps (Development, Security, and Operations) culture means security is not a hurdle at the end, but a component from the start.
Performing a deep clean now allows your development team to go on vacation with the peace of mind that they won’t receive an emergency call on December 25th.
Conclusion: Start 2026 Without Dead Weight
Don’t drag vulnerabilities into the new year. Dedicate the final days of December to sanitizing your digital infrastructure.
Clean code is a secure business.
