Security is included in testing
Functional and non-functional tests (e.g. load and performance tests) as well as examination of the application’s security should be included in the project plan.
Penetration tests can provide basic information regarding application security. Web application interfaces/connections can be targeted with attacks (e.g. denial of service, unauthorized access, etc.). To identify as many high-risk vulnerabilities as possible, the application can be subjected to a penetration test.
Services
We help determine to what extent an unauthorized user can access sensitive data by using one of the externally accessible interfaces without permission while potentially spying on or attacking other components and users within the system.
The focus is on the following scenarios:
- Preventing unauthorized access to and unauthorized manipulation of customer data
- Checking the accessible components
- Determining the configuration and release status of components with regard to security issues
Benefits
- Security checks help to uncover vulnerabilities in an increasingly complex IT application landscape and thus prevent serious problems caused by unauthorized access to data. The more complex and sensitive the application is, the more detailed the security check must be.
