Threat Modelling
In an increasingly complex digital landscape, identifying and addressing potential security vulnerabilities before they become a threat is critical. At InTechsters, our Threat Modeling services empower organizations to proactively identify risks and secure their systems, applications, and infrastructure. By simulating real-world cyberattacks, we help you uncover potential vulnerabilities and protect your valuable assets from malicious actors.
Various frameworks guide threat modelling to help organizations manage security risks effectively. STRIDE focuses on categorizing threats into six areas, while PASTA emphasizes risk simulation and analysis from a business perspective. OCTAVE assesses both organizational and technical risks, and the Attack Tree methodology visualizes potential attacks through a hierarchical structure. MITRE ATT&CK provides a comprehensive knowledge base of adversary tactics and techniques, aiding organizations in defending against real-world cyber threats.
Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
In today’s digital-first world, software vulnerabilities can lead to devastating consequences. Static Application Security Testing (SAST) is a vital proactive approach to identifying vulnerabilities within your source code before it is even executed. At InTechsters, we provide comprehensive Static Application Security Testing (SAST) services to help you secure your applications and mitigate risks early in the development lifecycle. By detecting security flaws in your code, we empower you to fix vulnerabilities before they reach production, safeguarding your organization from potential breaches.
InTechsters approach is guided by several key standards and frameworks, including OWASP's Software Assurance Maturity Model (SAMM) and the OWASP Top 10, which highlight common security risks in web applications. The NIST Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF) promotes integrating security throughout the software development lifecycle, while ISO/IEC 27034-1:2011 offers guidelines for secure software development and testing. These frameworks ensure that SAST processes align with industry best practices, enabling organizations to address vulnerabilities and enhance application security effectively.
Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)
Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) is a proactive security testing method that identifies vulnerabilities in running applications by simulating real-world attacks. Unlike Static Application Security Testing (SAST), which examines an application’s code, Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) tests the application in its live environment, often interacting with the application’s user interface, APIs, and back-end systems to detect security flaws in real-time. At InTechsters, we offer comprehensive DAST services to ensure your applications are secure, resilient, and ready to handle any potential threat.
Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) follows industry standards such as OWASP's Web Security Testing Guide (WSTG) and the OWASP Top 10, which focus on common vulnerabilities in web applications. The NIST Cybersecurity Framework emphasizes integrating security testing into development and operations, while ISO/IEC 27001 supports continuous information security management. These frameworks guide Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) practices to ensure comprehensive vulnerability detection and adherence to best security practices.
Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT)
By combining vulnerability scanning with real-world attack simulations, Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) offers a holistic approach to cybersecurity. Vulnerability assessments provide a broad view of potential weaknesses, while penetration testing tests the organization’s defenses in a more targeted and practical manner. This process ensures that vulnerabilities are not only identified but also evaluated in the context of how they could be exploited by attackers, helping organizations proactively strengthen their security defenses.
Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) follows industry standards like the OWASP Top 10 to address critical web application risks, while frameworks such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and ISO/IEC 27001 provide guidelines for effective risk management and security. Compliance with PCI DSS also requires regular Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) to protect payment card data, ensuring that vulnerabilities are identified and mitigated in line with recognized best practices and regulatory standards. These frameworks help guide VAPT efforts to enhance security and ensure compliance.
At InTechsters, we offer thorough VAPT services that help organizations uncover vulnerabilities, simulate real-world cyberattacks, and protect their critical assets from malicious actors.
Web Applications: Web applications are often the primary target for cybercriminals, as they are exposed to the internet and interact with a wide range of users. VAPT for web apps involves performing vulnerability scans to detect common security flaws like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and authentication weaknesses. Penetration testing then simulates attacks to exploit those vulnerabilities and assess the potential impact of a breach. This testing helps ensure that web applications are resilient against external threats, while also maintaining compliance with regulatory standards like GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS.
Infrastructure: Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) for infrastructure focuses on evaluating the security of an organization’s underlying IT infrastructure, including servers, networks, and databases. Vulnerability assessments scan for misconfigurations, outdated software, and known security gaps that could be exploited by attackers. Penetration testing further simulates attacks on infrastructure components to identify potential entry points and assess the effectiveness of security measures. This ensures that the organization's infrastructure is secure, resilient, and compliant with industry standards, such as ISO/IEC 27001 and NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
Application Programming Interface (API): APIs serve as the backbone of modern web and mobile applications, enabling communication between different software systems. However, insecure APIs can expose sensitive data and critical functionalities to attackers. VAPT for APIs involves scanning and testing the API endpoints for common vulnerabilities like insecure data transmission, lack of authentication, and improper access control. Penetration testing then simulates real-world attacks, such as API abuse or injection attacks, to identify and mitigate potential risks. Ensuring that APIs are secure is crucial for protecting data integrity and maintaining regulatory compliance with standards like PCI DSS and GDPR.
Thick Client: While thick clients offer greater functionality and performance, they often contain sensitive data and can be vulnerable to local attacks. VAPT for thick client applications focuses on identifying security issues such as weak encryption, insecure data storage, and local privilege escalation. Penetration testing simulates attacks on the client-side to assess how an attacker might exploit vulnerabilities. Ensuring the security of thick clients is essential for protecting sensitive data, especially when the application interfaces with cloud-based services or APIs.
Thin Client: Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) for thin client is essential for securing both the client-side and the server-side infrastructure that these devices rely on. By identifying vulnerabilities in communication protocols, authentication mechanisms, and server-side configurations, organizations can ensure a robust security posture. Regular vulnerability assessments and penetration tests help mitigate potential risks and protect sensitive data, while also ensuring compliance with industry regulations.
