Frequently Asked Questions

Penetration testing is a simulated cyberattack designed to identify and exploit vulnerabilities on a website. It's like a controlled hacking attempt that helps organizations assess their security posture and take proactive measures to protect their digital assets.

* Proactive Security: By identifying vulnerabilities beforehand, organizations can take steps to strengthen their security posture. * Compliance: Many industries have regulatory requirements that mandate regular security assessments, including pentesting. * Risk Mitigation: Pentesting helps organizations understand their risk exposure and prioritize security efforts. * Business Continuity: By preventing successful cyberattacks, pentesting helps ensure business operations remain uninterrupted.

A typical pentesting process involves the following stages: * Planning and Reconnaissance: * Gathering information about the target system or network. * Identifying potential attack vectors. * Scanning and Vulnerability Assessment: * Scanning the system or network for vulnerabilities. * Identifying weaknesses in software, configurations, and security policies. * Exploitation: * Attempting to exploit vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access. * Simulating real-world attacks to assess the impact. * Post-Exploitation: * Moving laterally within the system or network to identify further vulnerabilities. * Assessing the potential damage that could be caused by a successful attack. * Reporting: * Documenting the findings of the pentest, including identified vulnerabilities, risks, and recommendations.

* Black-box Testing: The tester has no prior knowledge of the system or network. * White-box Testing: The tester has detailed knowledge of the system or network. * Gray-box Testing: The tester has limited knowledge of the system or network.

Any organization that relies on technology, from small businesses to large corporations, can benefit from pentesting. This includes: * Healthcare providers * Financial institutions * Government agencies * Educational institutions * Retail businesses

DAST stands for Dynamic Application Security Testing. It's a black-box testing method that analyzes web applications while they're running, which is our main approach for testing your websites’ security. DAST tools mimic real-world attacks to identify vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and others. This method is effective in discovering issues that might not be apparent during static code analysis.

* Application Scanning: A DAST tool interacts with the web application as a user would, sending requests and analyzing responses. * Vulnerability Detection: The tool looks for common vulnerabilities such as: * SQL injection * Cross-site scripting (XSS) * Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) * Insecure direct object references * Missing function-level access control * Reporting: The tool generates detailed reports outlining the identified vulnerabilities, their severity, and potential remediation steps.

* Real-world Simulation: DAST tools mimic real-world attacks, providing a more accurate assessment of an application's security posture. * No Source Code Access Required: DAST can be used to test applications without requiring access to the source code. * Easy to Implement: DAST tools are relatively easy to set up and use, making them accessible to organizations of all sizes. * Identifies Configuration Issues: DAST can uncover misconfigurations that could lead to security vulnerabilities.
