Frequently Asked Questions
What are the tools and methodologies we employ for security testing?
We utilize a combination of industry-leading security testing tools and methodologies to ensure a thorough assessment. This includes automated vulnerability scanners, our built-in scripts and utilities, in-house security testing framework, penetration testing, and static and dynamic analysis techniques. Our approach is tailored to each project's specific requirements, ensuring comprehensive coverage of potential vulnerabilities.
What process do we follow when engaging in a security testing project?
- Requirement Gathering and Scoping: We collaborate with the client to understand the project's objectives, scope, and specific requirements.
- Environment Setup: We work with the client to set up the necessary security testing environment. This could involve creating replicas of production systems, configuring testing accounts, and ensuring access to relevant resources.
- Tool Selection and Configuration: Depending on the project's requirements, we select appropriate security testing tools. We configure these tools to suit the project's context.
- Initial Assessment and Discovery: We conduct an initial assessment to understand the application's architecture, functionalities, and potential attack surfaces. This step helps in tailoring our testing approach.
- Deliverables for Assessment Phase: The security test plan is the only deliverable, and we get it reviewed by the client.
- Security Testing Execution: Our security experts perform various security testing techniques to identify vulnerabilities. Vulnerabilities are documented in the form of bugs.

What are the three phases of application security testing (AST)?
AST, or secure software development lifecycle (SDLC), involves integrating security testing throughout the software development process. Here are the three main phases:
- Early Stage: Focuses on secure design principles, threat modeling, and code reviews during development.
- Development and Integration: Includes static application security testing (SAST) to analyze code for vulnerabilities and dynamic application security testing (DAST) to test functionality and identify security issues in a running application.
- Pre-Deployment and Maintenance: Involves penetration testing and additional security assessments before deployment, followed by ongoing security monitoring and vulnerability management after release.
