Penetration Testing Best Practices
Some interesting insights on how to get the most of your pentest: from selecting the right vendor to proper project management.
Application pentesting
Software is everywhere. Nearly 50% of all attacks are happening due to vulnerabilities in software and application-specific attacks.

Why pentesting?
The best way to find vulnerabilities in your software is by doing penetration testing. This is a simulated cyberattack against your application to reveal the system’s defences’ weak spots.
Pentesting can be done in several ways: black-box, grey-box, or white-box, depending on how much access (e.g., source code, credentials) the client is willing to provide. Typically, the more access a pentester has, the more fruitful results will be.
Our process:
During our pentests we rely on OWASP and OSSTM methodologies. While employing some automated tools, we mostly perform manual expert penetration testing: such an approach proves to be the most practically valuable.
We keep clients informed in course of the project, providing regular status updates and immediate notifications for critical findings.

A kick-off meeting to agree on the scope, inputs and communication
2
Pentesting (2-5 weeks, depending on the scope)
3
The final report that highlights the identified vulnerabilities
