Prevent system breaches and fortify your business with application security testing
Regular application security testing enhances your cybersecurity posture, reduces risks of cyber threats, saves costs, and ensures your business continuity. Conducting assessments during software development allows you to avoid significant resources needed to remediate vulnerabilities after application release.
As an experienced cybersecurity consulting company , Soin Media can help you leverage advanced testing methodologies and comprehensive assessments to reveal and fix weaknesses that attackers can exploit. We offer a full scope of application security testing services that will help you automate the testing process, identify vulnerabilities, and mitigate them. Our engineers will effectively utilize various testing tools and simulate attacks to safeguard your application environment.
Protect your critical data and maintain the integrity of your applications by conducting security testing with Soin Media.
We conduct comprehensive testing of your applications
Identity management
We will assess policies and technologies to verify that authorized users have proper access to applications. Our experts will test the following vulnerabilities:
- Account enumeration
- User impersonation
- Insecure account recovery practices
- Privilege escalation
- Role misconfigurations
- Inadequate password complexity
- Insecure multi-factor authentication (MFA)
- Social engineering attacks leading to account takeover
Authentication and authorization
Soin Media will verify user identities and credentials to ensure correct access control to the system and specific resources. We will identify entry vulnerabilities by these criteria:
- Credential stuffing
- Brute force login attempts
- Insecure direct object references
- Missing function-level access controls
- Exposed sensitive data through error messages
- Use of hard-coded credentials
Session management
Soin Media will evaluate vulnerabilities in session handling to ensure they are secure and are automatically terminated when a user logs out. During this assessment, we can identify:
- Session hijacking and fixation
- Insecure session token handling
- Cross-site request forgery (CSRF)
- Use of predictable session tokens
- Session token leaks
- Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) misconfigurations
- Insecure session storage
Client-side security
Soin Media will check software within the browser or client environment to ensure that your application functions correctly and meets the specified requirements. This includes:
- Cross-site scripting (XSS)
- Client-side logic manipulation
- DOM-based attacks
- Local storage insecurity
- Security misconfigurations in client frameworks/libraries
- Insufficient input validation leading to client-side vulnerabilities
API security
We will test application programming interfaces to determine if they meet the security requirements. Soin Media will apply the best techniques to check:
- API endpoint exposure
- Inefficient rate limiting
- Insecure data exposure
- Broken object-level authorization
- Insecure deserialization
- Lack of resources and rate limiting leading to Denial of Service (DoS) attacks
Cryptography
Soin Media will assess encrypted data based on several independent parameters, such as the strength of the cryptographic algorithm and the secrecy of the key. We do this by following these criteria:
- Insufficient encryption strength
- Use of deprecated cryptographic algorithms
- Poor key management
- Vulnerable certificate handling
Types of application security testing we specialize in
Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
Our team will analyze source code or compiled versions of code to identify vulnerabilities without executing the application. Utilizing SAST, we will identify potential weaknesses and coding errors.
Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)
Our security professionals will test applications while they are running by simulating attacks to find vulnerabilities. With DAST, we will find input validation errors, configuration weaknesses, and authentication flaws.
Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST)
Soin Media will integrate dynamic and interactive testing to examine the application with real user inputs and actions in a controlled environment. We will also use the IAST approach for real-time vulnerability reporting.
Manual penetration testing
While conducting penetration testing, our security experts will imitate attacker behavior to exploit vulnerabilities and identify security weaknesses that cannot be found by automated tools. Pen testing will extend DAST capabilities by taking a hands-on approach.
Software Composition Analysis (SCA)
Soin Media will identify and manage the application's open-source sub-components and third-party libraries. We will also analyze dependencies and evaluate their security status, addressing known vulnerabilities and compliance issues.
Mobile Application Security Testing (MAST)
Our team will simulate attacks on mobile applications and focus on mobile-specific security concerns like data leakage, authentication and communication issues, and malicious Wi-Fi networks. We will also retest and verify your applications after their updates.
How can you benefit from application security testing services
Early Vulnerability Detection
By identifying hidden vulnerabilities during the coding phase rather than after deployment, we stop threats before they can be exploited.
Business continuity
Enhance your software resilience, ensuring applications are resistant to attacks and can recover swiftly in the event of a breach.
Regulatory compliance
Ensure compliance with data protection regulations and minimize the risk of legal issues and fines associated with non-compliance.
Risk minimization
Reduce risks of cyber threats and software vulnerabilities to strengthen your applications' security.
Cost-effectiveness
Save costs by conducting early application testing to prevent potential breaches and avoid significant post-disruption remediation expenses.
Enhanced reputation management
Protect your brand by prioritizing software security to increase customer trust in your software products and boost their loyalty.
Our approach to application security testing
1. Scope identification
We analyze the critical security areas and architecture to understand the potential threat landscape and your business needs. We also identify the assessment parameters and assemble a security testing team with diverse expertise for further testing.
2. Designing an action plan
Based on application properties and identified potential vulnerabilities, our security team creates a comprehensive testing plan. It includes specific types of testing to be performed, tools that will be utilized, and expected outcomes. We also prepare a process model and CI/CD toolset, where particular AST activities will be integrated.
3. Performing tests
We conduct tests by combining automated tools and manual testing techniques to discover all the potential vulnerabilities. Our security team usually conducts static analysis (SAST and SCA) during the development phase and DAST and IAST after deployment.
