Penetration Testing

Software security threats tend to occur where the security & incident management team expects them the least. Intruders always look for weak points and vulnerabilities in those information systems where security isn’t applied on or considered a priority. The combination of negligence and seemingly minor vulnerabilities may end up with serious consequences and lead to the system being compromised. The acknowledged way to reduce such risks is to employ penetration testing to your solutions.

To prevent your organization from possible breaches and reinforce existing security controls against a skilled attacker, Czario offers penetration testing services based on a custom plan of a multi-step attack execution (ethical hacking) that targets custom network infrastructure and applications.

We recommend penetration testing in the following scenarios

•   Regularly scheduled analysis and assessments are required by regulatory mandates.
•   New network infrastructure or applications were added.
•   Significant upgrades or modifications to infrastructure or applications were made.
•   New office locations were established.
•   End-user policies were modified.
•   Corporate IT infra was significantly changed.

Ethical Hacking to Prevent a Potential Intrusion

Czario offers complete penetration testing designed to identify system vulnerabilities, validate existing security measures and provide a detailed remediation roadmap.

Our team is equipped with the latest tools and industry-specific test scenarios to deliver a thorough checkup and scrutiny of pinpoint system vulnerabilities, as well as flaws in application, service and OS, loopholes in configurations, and potentially dangerous non-compliance with security policies.

Czario’s Pen test team performs the following types of a penetration test:

•   Network services test.
•   Web application security test.
•   Client-side security test.
•   Remote access security test.
•   Social engineering test.
•   Physical security test.

We apply 3 recognized penetration testing methods:

•   Black Box testing (external testing).
•   White Box testing (internal testing).
•   Grey Box testing (combination of both above-mentioned types).

3 Steps of a Penetration Test

  Pre-attack phase / Planning

•   Defining the intruder model (internal or external, enabled rights and privileges).
•   Defining goals, source data, scope of work and testing targets.
•   Determining the scope of a target environment.
•   Developing the testing methodology.
•   Defining interaction and communication procedures.

  Attack phase / Testing

•   Fieldwork, service identification.
•   Custom scanning or intrusion tools are developed if needed.
•   Vulnerabilities detection and scanning, elimination of false positives.
•   Vulnerabilities exploit and gaining an unauthorized access.
•   Utilization of compromised systems as a springboard for further intrusion.
•   Reporting

  Post-attack phase / Reporting

•   Result analysis and reporting with recommendations for reducing risks.
•   Visual demonstration of the damage that can be inflicted to the system by an intruder.
•   We can also eliminate the detected vulnerabilities.

Types of testing that we offer

  Usability testing

Our team checks the convenience of your web application, website or portal for end users. We identify usability issues and chart down an improvement plan that will help you deliver a product that meets the expectations of your target users. Every component of the website is tested for integrity, responsiveness, and correlation to other components based on your programming logic.

  Performance testing

Team Czario tests your web application for normal functionality and optimization under planned & unplanned load, unexpected stress, and high scale utilization. We also test for performance from different locations to ensure stable performance from any geo-location.

  Compatibility testing

Our testing team checks if your website works seamlessly on different devices (laptops, tablets, mobile devices and so on), across different operating systems, and on different browsers giving stable performance irrespective of the environment it runs on. We help your development team zero-in on issues correctly and fix them promptly.

  Compliance testing

We ensure that your web solution works according to the standards laid out by the governance bodies in the industry like HIPAA, GAMP, PCI DSS, and more.

  Web security testing

With a certified team of experts in information security, we conduct source code reviews and penetration testing. We simulate a hacking attack and analyze the behaviour of your web solution to shield such attacks and perform timely reporting. We help you address security vulnerabilities pre-emptively and deftly.

  Web testing automation

Our web testing specialists ensure high quality and expedited performance of your web solution features that need automation. We automate functional, regression and performance testing with keyword-driven and data-driven approaches.

Our Approach to Web Application Testing

Czario implements a seven-stage process to website testing services.

•   Requirement Analysis
•   Planning the process for maximum feature & functionality coverage
•   Define Milestones
•   Design Test Cases
•   Execute Tests
•   Analyse Results and Report Generation
•   Perform Recurring Tests, if necessary
