Security Testing Services

Overview

As cyberthreats grow in sophistication and frequency, specialized expertise, advanced technologies, and a proactive approach to security are strategic imperatives for any organization. Unfortunately, they often lack the expertise, tools, and time to get ahead of their expanding attack surface.

With OpenText Security Testing, organizations can gain a comprehensive understanding of weaknesses and potential risks in their applications, systems, and network. With this knowledge, they are prepared to plug holes, improve cyber defenses, and increase compliance with insurance and regulatory requirements.

Engage with a team of seasoned cybersecurity professionals with a proven track record in delivering high-quality penetration testing and vulnerability scanning services. The team uses the latest tools and methodologies to stay ahead of emerging threats and vulnerabilities.

The key steps in security tests typically include:

1. Identification: Identifying assets, including hardware, software, network components, and data, which may be susceptible to vulnerabilities.
2. Evaluation: Assessing each asset to determine potential vulnerabilities. This may be done via automated scanning tools, manual inspection, or a combination of both.
3. Classification: Classifying vulnerabilities based on severity, potential impact, and likelihood of exploitation. This helps prioritize which vulnerabilities should be addressed first.
4. Risk assessment: Assessing the potential risks associated with each vulnerability, considering factors such as the value of the asset, the likelihood of exploitation, and the potential impact of a successful attack.
5. Mitigation planning: Developing a plan to address identified vulnerabilities, which may include implementing security patches, configuration changes, or other countermeasures.

Depending on the organization’s specific needs, the following security tests can be performed:

• Network Vulnerability Assessment
  Identifying vulnerabilities within the network infrastructure, including routers, switches, firewalls, and other network devices. It may involve scanning for open ports, outdated software, misconfigurations, and other weaknesses that could be exploited by attackers.
• Web Application Vulnerability Assessment
  Identifying vulnerabilities within web applications, such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and insecure authentication mechanisms. It may involve both automated scanning tools and manual testing techniques to uncover vulnerabilities.
• Wireless Network Assessment
  Identifying vulnerabilities within wireless networks, including Wi-Fi networks. It may involve testing for weak encryption, rogue access points, and other security issues that could compromise the confidentiality and integrity of wireless communications.
• API Vulnerability Assessment
  Identifying vulnerabilities within application programming interfaces (APIs), such as weak authentication and authorization mechanisms, SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), unprotected data, improper error handling, and general API best practices.

• Social Engineering Assessment
  Testing the effectiveness of an organization’s security awareness training and policies by attempting to manipulate individuals into disclosing sensitive information or performing unauthorized actions. This may include phishing attacks, pretexting, and physical security breaches.
• Red Team Penetration Testing
  Simulating real-world cyberattacks by attempting to breach an organization’s security defenses using a variety of tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). It often involves a combination of technical attacks, social engineering, and physical security testing to identify weaknesses across multiple layers of defense.
• Application Code Review
  Examination of application source code to detect potential weaknesses introduced in the development lifecycle creating vulnerabilities around input validation, authentication and authorization, data protection, third-party libraries and components (known CVEs), business logic flaw, code security, and non-compliance with best practices.
• Mobile Application Security Testing
  Similar to Application Code Review, but adapted for mobile applications. Includes dynamic analysis, network communication review for attacks such as “man-in-the-middle” and mobile platform-specific security controls.
