Security Testing Services We Provide

Penetration Testing

Elevate your organization's cybersecurity defenses by subjecting your systems, applications, and networks to simulated cyber attacks. Our penetration testing services help you uncover potential entry points so you can fortify your digital defenses.

Utilizing tools and methodologies like Metasploit, Burp Suite, and Nmap, our penetration testers conduct thorough assessments to identify holes in your infrastructure. Through meticulous analysis and exploitation of vulnerabilities, we share actionable insights to enhance your security posture.

Vulnerability Scanning

Identify security weaknesses in your systems, networks, or applications. Vulnerability assessment and scanning is an automated process that identifies vulnerabilities that your team may overlook.

We examine your systems and applications with advanced scanning tools like Nessus and OpenVAS. Our testers prioritize vulnerabilities based on severity and impact, providing you with actionable recommendations to remediate risks. Our comprehensive approach helps ensure the resilience of your digital infrastructure against security vulnerabilities and threats.

Red Teaming

Prepare your organization to withstand sophisticated cyber threats. Through red teaming, a simulated cyber attack, we evaluate and improve your security defenses and incident response capabilities. The result? Enhanced protection against real-life threats.

Drawing from real-world scenarios and emulating the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of threat actors, our red teamers simulate targeted cyber attacks. We combine social engineering, phishing, and malware deployment with tools like Cobalt Strike and Empire for advanced persistent threat simulations. You'll be better prepared for real-world attacks.

Cloud Security Assessment

Protect your cloud assets and data integrity. Our evaluations identify security misconfigurations and access control issues. You'll get actionable recommendations to enhance your cloud security posture.

We conduct thorough evaluations of your cloud infrastructure, platform, and services with tools like AWS Inspector, Azure Security Center, and Google Cloud Security Scanner. We also perform continuous monitoring and alerting.

Compliance Testing

Ensure adherence to regulatory standards and industry best practices. Through compliance testing, we identify compliance gaps and vulnerabilities and help you meet critical legal and regulatory requirements.

Using advanced tools like Nessus, OpenSCAP, and Tenable.io, we verify compliance with laws and regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and ISO/IEC 27001. We evaluate your systems, applications, and processes to identify any compliance gaps and potential vulnerabilities. From there, we provide reports with actionable insights to help you implement necessary controls and maintain continuous compliance.

Key Things to Know About Security Testing

Security testing activities are essential for safeguarding digital assets and sensitive information. By simulating real-world cyber attacks, security testers conduct comprehensive assessments of an organization’s defenses. They identify vulnerabilities and potential pitfalls like misconfigurations and weaknesses within software systems. This way, developers can address any gaps before they can be exploited. Security testing is the first step in protecting against data breaches and cyber threats. It is also necessary to ensure compliance with industry regulations and standards. 

Best Practices for Security Testing in 2024

Part 1: Preparation and Planning

Define Security Requirements

We establish security requirements early in the SDLC and ensure alignment with regulatory and compliance standards, such as GDPR or HIPAA.

Risk Assessment

We conduct thorough risk assessments to identify potential threats and vulnerabilities and prioritize risks based on potential impact and likelihood of occurrence. We account for a range of platforms, including desktop and mobile devices.

Test Plan Development

We create a comprehensive security test plan outlining objectives, scope, methods, and tools. This plan encompasses both manual and automated testing strategies. We also build a security testing team that accounts for all the necessary roles.

Environment Setup

Our test environments closely simulate production. We use secure configurations and maintain isolation from production systems.

Part 2: Execution of Security Tests

Static Application Security Testing (SAST)

Our testers implement SAST tools early on to analyze source code, bytecode, and binaries for weaknesses.

Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)

We perform DAST on running applications to identify vulnerabilities in real-time. We also simulate attacks to test how the application responds to various threats.

Penetration Testing

We conduct regular penetration testing, simulating real-world attacks.

Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST)

Utilizing IAST tools that combine SAST and DAST techniques for comprehensive analysis, we focus on both code-level and runtime vulnerabilities.

Automated Scanning

Leveraging automated tools, we continuously scan for known vulnerabilities and schedule regular scans to ensure findings are addressed promptly.

Part 3: Post-Testing Activities

Result Analysis and Reporting

We analyze test results to identify trends and underlying causes of vulnerabilities. Then, we generate detailed reports for stakeholders, highlighting any critical issues and remediation steps.

Remediation and Retesting

After we identify vulnerabilities, we promptly implement fixes and retest to ensure resolution.

Continuous Improvement

We help you incorporate the knowledge you've gained from security testing into the SDLC and keep your security testing tools and practices up to date.

Training and Awareness

It's important to establish a culture of security awareness across the organization. This is a shared responsibility among the security team, software developers, stakeholders, and anyone else who uses your systems.
