Website security audit

WEBSITE SECURITY AUDIT

Websites and/or web applications are often a weak point in a company’s information security system. The proprietary nature of web applications often leads to their insufficient testing for vulnerability within companies.
 
Web application or site vulnerabilities are highly open to attackers and are often used for malicious purposes. For example, “port 80” is a popular access point attackers try to hack in to the system.

The consequences of an attack through a system's weak points may include illegal copying and modification of databases, cyber fraud such as "phishing” and “bot net”, invasion of the corporate network and malware code (web virus) injection.

 

The significance of cyber security cannot be overrated as the consequences of a breach may result in serious business loss. The need for an efficient data security audit is emphasized in a number of industry standards. For example, one of the critical parts of an application system security audit is source code analysis performed by qualified third party.

BLACKHAT Solutions technicians perform efficient analysis of web application system security at all levels of complexity using the proven efficiency 'black box' testing methods and source code analysis.


Application security assessment uses conventional analysis methods and acknowledged standards. Analysis of websites includes all web application elements: design layout, OS configuration, data warehouses, network communications, client/server architecture, mechanisms of authentication and authorization.
