Our Penetration Testing Services
Our Mobile Security testing methodology is based on years of experience testing complex applications and systems in market-leading companies.
Our assessment process enables organizations to make informed decisions about business risks and manage security spending effectively.
Let us help you ensure your business stays safe from online threats.
Before we start black box security testing, we sit down with your team to plan things out and kick-off the assessment. In this meeting, we figure out what areas to focus on while leaving the systems you don't want to be checked, outside the scope. Once everyone agrees on the Test-plan, we pick key contacts, and the test begins.
We keep you updated during the test, notifying immediately of any critical issues that have been identified, and when we are done with the testing, we provide you with a full report with our suggestions for mitigating the identified vulnerabilities and reducing the risk.
Our team of experts tries different scenarios of
black-box penetration testing tools and attack vectors. We utilize hands-on and automated attacking techniques to gain information about the system and uncover its weakest links.
Bypassing business logic at the application level as well as exploiting other vulnerabilities, may allow the attacker to:
-
Perform unlimited money transfers on banking applications
-
Constantly win on a gambling application
-
Impersonate other users
-
Directly influence the system’s database
Detecting these flaws requires solid experience, creative thinking, and strong intuition.
