What kind of products/applications need security testing? Any product/application can be attacked by a determined attacker. So, every product, both software and hardware should be put through Security Testing. Mission critical applications need to be tested at any cost, as the impact of their failure is very drastic.
I already had a security testing done some time back. Do I still need another round of testing? Each round of testing is done with the available information and known threats at the time of testing. The testing also depends on the past experiences of the Consultant. As the security scenario is changing day-by-day, it's never too soon to retest an application.
My application has never been attacked before. Does it still need testing? New vulnerabilities and threats come up every day. Even if your application has never been attacked before, nobody can ever guarantee that it may not be attacked. All applications are vulnerable to some degree most of the times. It is always advisable to perform a test on your application.
My application is not interfaced to the web. Do I still need testing? It is now well established that applications face most of the risks from insider threats. Insiders have bypassed the physical and logical controls that are in place to protect the perimeter of your application and network. The insider may also have credentials to access the infrastructure. They can most easily violate the trust put on them for various reasons. It is always the safest and best approach to test both internal and external applications.
I already use automated tools to periodically test the security of my application/server. Do I need this test? Tools can never guarantee missing out vulnerabilities. We follow the hybrid approach where our experienced Consultants achieve the accuracy with manual testing, and automation with the help of tools. This hybrid approach guarantees that no vulnerabilities are missed out, which no tool can assure.
I am having critical deadlines. Can Qseap meet my demands of timelines? We understand that your deadlines are vital for us. We will schedule the tests within a day. The tests and the report will generally not take more than 4-5 days. We can deliver even quicker, if the need arises.
What deliverables will be provided to me after the security testing? You will be provided with a detailed and comprehensive report of all the existing as well as potential risks to the application/product. Recommendations and suggestions are also made to ensure that the application meets the highest security standards. Our report will contain solutions to fix the vulnerabilities on a step-by-step basis. A developer or administrator will find it very easy to execute the steps.
Will Qseap share the reports with anyone else? We at Qseap understand that confidentiality is critical to your business. We strictly follow standard security policies and take special precautions to protect the confidentiality. The tests and their results are upheld with uttermost confidentiality and are never shared with any unauthorized entity.
