Trusting the effectiveness of your IT security controls is crucial to mitigate risks and malicious access to your systems and the information they store. Penetration testing with a CREST-Approved provider is one of the most effective methods to gain assurance of your IT security. Initiating a penetration test will give you the ability to develop (or enhance an existing) security strategy and remediate your vulnerabilities.

Penetration testing is a common technique used to analyze the security posture of IT infrastructure. Web application penetration testing can assist you in identifying the potential security weaknesses in your web-based applications so that they can be fixed before attackers exploit them.

Mobile Application Penetration Testing Methodology as a security testing measure, analyses security perimeters within a mobile environment. Derived from the traditional concept of application security methodology, its main focus lies on client-side security and it broadly puts the end-user in control. By conducting penetration testing, companies can gain insights into the source code’s vulnerabilities, bottlenecks, and attack vectors beforehand.

Penetration testing is the cornerstone of any cyber security strategy, yet enterprises often don’t get an optimal outcome from their pen test engagements. In this blog I’ll be looking at the three main reasons behind this, and also suggesting an alternative way of working that could vastly improve security outcomes whilst also increasing business value.

Many businesses are running remotely as a result of the latest COVID-19 pandemic. The 'new normal' has expanded the market for digital transformation initiatives and cloud migration strategies. However, according to Verizon's 2020 Data Breach Investigations Report, cybercriminals are taking advantage of enterprises' desperate digital transformation initiatives by developing new ways to target and exploit their web applications.
