Application Security Assessment
Assessing the application security provides a key assurance and plays a vital role in ensuring confidentiality, integrity and availability of your business systems. Our approach towards testing the application security consists of several technical and scenario-based tests, to identify vulnerabilities in the system code or configuration that can be exploited by malicious adversary. In today’s typical application infrastructure where the integration of web components under several technologies has become critical, increase in number of threats and vulnerabilities has also put new challenges to application developers. Cipher Storm consultant removes these gaps by assessing the application against all set of security tests including SQL injection, cross-site scripting, parameter manipulation, authentication attacks, path traversal, content spoofing, information leakage, denial of service attack and buffer overflows. However, to notice this assessment will go beyond the standard vulnerability testing and ensure that the defensive controls are in place, such as, authentication and authorization control, input validation, session management, cryptographic and configuration controls.
In the recent research reports that have shown 80% of security breaches occur only through application layer. Cipher Storm security consultants are fully capable of testing wide range of applications including ecommerce systems, trading systems, general web application, data entry application and content management systems to identify the threats within your application and ensure that there will be no malicious or accidental actions could result in financial loss, affect market reputation or breach of regulatory compliance. We use the industry proven methodologies and best of breed assessment tools to identify all vulnerabilities that can be exploited. A comprehensive report provided by our consultants will list all the vulnerabilities discovered, their risk scores and the mitigation procedures to employ better controls for improved security.
