Penetration Testing


 Application Security

Our consultants are practitioners of both The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) to assess every aspect of the application's security from authentication mechanisms through to business logic and beyond. Often we find today that your applications may exist across different platforms; developed and maintained by different teams of developers, which can lead to a different number and different types of vulnerabilities, as such our team are versed in several different languages and protocols, to fully assess any security implications that may exist on your platform.

A small list of applications of some of the types of applications we are familiar with:

  • Web-based (ASP, ASPX, CFM, JSP, PHP, WAR)
  • Thick-clients (.NET, Java, PE, ELF)

  • Javascript (e.g. REST, JSON)
