Description

• Software vulnerabilities are a major attack vector, but businesses continue to struggle to secure their applications. As apps become more numerous and complex – web apps, mobile apps, client-server apps, etc. – finding and fixing the growing volume of vulnerabilities just gets harder


• Security teams often aren't clear about all the apps they’re supposed to be managing. And because software developers aren’t security professionals, security isn’t one of their top priorities. As a result, countless apps aren’t secure and fail to meet compliance requirements.

Two major application security and they are

• Web application Security
• Mobile application Security

Web Application Security :

Web application security is the idea of building websites to function as expected, even when they are under attack. The concept involves a collection of security controls engineered into a Web application to protect its assets from potentially malicious agents.

Process :

Web application penetration testing consists of four main steps including information gathering, research and exploitation, reporting and recommendations, and remediation with ongoing support. These tests are performed primarily to maintain secure software code development throughout its lifecycle .

Methodology :

• Information Gathering
• Research and Exploitation
• Reporting and Recommendation
• Remediation and support

Tools:

• Burp Suite
• Nessus
• Acunetix
• Nmap
• Netsparker

Mobile application Security :

• A simple definition of mobile application testing would go like this “Mobile application testing is a process by which an application software developed for handheld mobile devices is tested for its functionality, usability, and consistency. Mobile application testing can be automated or manual type of testing.”

Process :

• Types of mobile application testing. Functional testing ensures that the application is working as per the requirements. Most of the tests conducted for this are driven by the user interface and call flow. Laboratory testing, usually carried out by network carriers, is done by simulating the complete wireless network .

Methodology :

• Discovery
• Assessment/ Analysis
• Exploitation
• Reporting

Tools :

• Cydia.
• Apktool.
• Appcrack.
• Burp Suite.
• Wireshark.
• OWASP ZAP.
• Tcdump.

Benefits :

• Reduces risk from both internal and third-party sources.
• Maintains the brand image by keeping businesses off the headlines.
• Keeps customer data secure and builds customer confidence.
• Protects sensitive data from leaks.
• Improves trust from crucial investors and lenders.

CDSS Program :
