Application Security Testing

Application Security Assessment is the ongoing process of analysing, evaluating, and managing security risks in corporate business software to provide the necessary defence against evolving security threats.

What is Application Security Assessment?

Applications are the backbone of modern enterprises, and their security is essential for both operational success and continuity. Application Security uses ongoing risk management and assessment procedures to safeguard company business applications. A robust application security strategy is essential so that security issues are resolved quickly and effectively for the organization's reliability and stability.

We offer on-demand, scalable & flexible Application Security Testing services to help improve the quality and security of your software applications.

Application Security Assessment Process

Application Security Assessment Process

The following are the main stages of our application security testing:

Understand The Application - Our team evaluates the functionality, user roles, business logic, and application structure. This process helps our ethical hacking team in identification of potential attack vectors which could be used by hackers.

Threat Model - Our threat models take into account both application security needs and business objectives. Using that enables us to create customized application security services that go above and beyond standard application security testing.

Create Application Security Test Plan - The application security test plan includes a detailed approach for conducting the test, including possible techniques to exploit vulnerabilities that could compromise user privileges, business logic, transactions, or expose sensitive data.

Run automated OWASP Scan - The first step in Application Security Assessment is to use automated application security scanners for known vulnerability identification.

Perform Application Penetration Tests - The application security test plan is executed by our security testing team. The results of a security tests are, however, not necessarily as pre-defined as those of software testing, thus the plan need regular revisions or updates. By mimicking actual hackers, we can adjust the strategy and uncover more vulnerabilities that could result in breaches.

Identify Remedial Actions - The rankings of the vulnerabilities take into account a number of variables, such as their general ranking, their potential for exploitation, whether public exploits are available, how simple they are to exploit, etc. In order to help the development team address the vulnerabilities, we can also offer recommendations.

Reporting - Our application security reports offer management and technical teams useful information by including the following:

  • 1. Detailed report containing vulnerabilities and recommendations for fixes.
  • 2. CSV file listing all the discovered vulnerabilities for easier internal tracking and distribution.
  • 3. Automated scan results from scanners.

To Conclude

Application Security Testing benefits the organization in the following ways:

Build Digital Trust - Secured applications ensure your customer's confidence in your business.

Reduce Risk - The danger of a breach and the cost of testing are both greatly reduced by testing applications early in the development cycle.

Reduce Attack Surface - Reduce the chances of networks and applications being attacked by hackers.

Ensure Compliance - Meet regulatory requirements like GDPR and avoid penalties for noncompliance.
