Penetration Testing

 

Assessment of Security by any means is not to be ignored by a company that wants to carry out a comprehensive security program. Indeed, these estimates is an essential component that allows any business to find out gaps in their system, and the components that need to be improved by providing a basic report, we can perform a complete and active analysis of System for any weakness that makes the "real world" attack and security management solutions for business.

This analysis will be done from the position of a potential attacker and includes real-life scenarios made by our team of experts, which includes former professional hackers transformed to security professionals. So this is real how and what a hacker can do for your website / server.

A penetration can be compared to analyzing a rabbit proof fence, which has to be complete to keep the rabbits out. In analyzing the fence the pen tester may identify a single hole large enough for a rabbit (or themselves) to move through, once the defense is passed, any further review of that defense may not occur as the pen tester moves on to the next security control. This means there may be several holes or flaws in the first line of defense and the pen tester only identified the first one found as it was a successful exploit.

 

TEST PHASES

We recommends doing Grey Box security assessment which is the combination of Black box security assessment (External Security test) and White Box security assessment (Internal Security Test) according to OWASP-ASVS standards.

GREY BOX SECURITY ASSESSMENT

The combination of Black Box and White Box security assessment is called as Grey box security assessment. We follow semi-automated scanning to dive deep into your application using manual security audit techniques.

  • Black Box security assessment
  • White Box security assessment

BLACK BOX SECURITY ASSESSMENT

Black box security tests are done to identify and resolve potential security vulnerabilities without logging into web applications, similar to what a hacker would do. This allows us to identify all open exploits and vulnerabilities exposed to the outside world. We follow OWASP ASVS, PTES, NIST and SANS 25 standards for successful black box security assessment.

WHITE BOX SECURITY ASSESSMENT

As per the OWASP standards, we perform end to end White Box penetration test based on the 11 security testing categories for manual and automated security assessment. This helps us to find all known, unknown and hidden vulnerabilities of the target web application which is exposed to authorised users.
