Our approach
Design Review and Analysis of the Solution’s Architecture
This initial phase involves understanding the high-level architecture of your solution, including its dependencies and logic. By identifying important sensitive assets, cryptographic materials, and data flows based on provided documentation and publicly available information, we can plan our testing activities effectively.
Automated Penetration Testing
Automated penetration testing is conducted at the beginning of the evaluation and runs concurrently with other activities. This phase helps in collecting essential information about the system and identifying publicly known security issues or potential vulnerabilities, which will be verified during manual testing.
Manual Black-Box & White-Box Penetration Testing
During this phase, we conduct expert-led manual testing to uncover complex vulnerabilities that automated tools might miss. This involves rigorous manual testing of every API function or other publicly exposed functionality. Our security analysts submit specially crafted payloads to the backend services to trigger boundary conditions and analyze how the system handles and processes these requests.
Analysis of Solution’s Logic and Flows
This analysis ensures that our testers have comprehensively understood and verified the low-level logic of your solution. By tracing all identified assets through their lifecycle within the solution, we can reveal complex security issues and ensure proper protection of these assets throughout their lifecycle. This activity is based on the information collected during the evaluation, as well as the solution’s source code in case of a white-box evaluation approach.
Reporting
We provide detailed reports outlining identified vulnerabilities, their potential impact, and actionable recommendations for remediation. Our reports offer clear insights into the security posture of your backend systems, helping you understand and address identified issues effectively.
