Overview

Applications are the tools that end users often have the most contact with, since they provide a front end interface to many services including banking, content management, process control and many other productivity tools. Remember that applications do not just run web sites. We can test your application that is running on top of an embedded operating system, or if you need to verify that a Windows application isn’t “phoning home” with confidential data, SecQuest can help. The SecQuest application assessment will find security weaknesses giving you the information you need to address them.

What is an Application Security Assessment?

Business Benefits

Application compromise can result in fraudulent transactions, corrupt databases or obscure system behaviour, leading to downtime, or other significant inconvenience whilst the problems are rectified – any of these issues can cause brand damage and potential legal issues should personal data be leaked. The risks to your business can be reduced with a SecQuest Application Security Assessment.

Assessment Detail

We will start the assessment with reconnaissance and familiarisation of the application’s features depending on the type of application being assessed. Where user authentication is required we will test for issues such as vertical escalation and data leakage, as well as authentication bypass issues. Standard tests including SQL injection, remote file inclusion, cross-site request forgery and user input sanitisation will also be performed. We will attempt to leverage application configuration issues to gain access to the application’s underlying operating system and internal networks depending on the scope of testing. A full report will be provided with a management summary giving a plain English overview of any issues found in the application whilst technical sections contain details of our findings and recommendations to address any security issues discovered.
