Thick Client Application Security Testing India

Call Us

Thick client Application Security testing is to identify vulnerabilities and exploit the identified vulnerabilities in thick client applications installed on the client-side systems and enhance the overall security of the application to prevent any unauthorized access which can cause an impact on the organization.

The testing procedure involves both the local and server-side processing. Attack surface of a thick client application is significant. The security testing is conducted to identify the programming-level issues, file access issues, configuration issues, etc. in the application that can turn out to be vulnerabilities and cause a potential impact on the organization or on business.

Methodology

Information Gathering

Post scope definition, we enumerate the scoped systems to gain information about the potential vulnerabilities.

Vulnerability Analysis and Exploitation

Identify the security risks that could be vulnerable and attempt to exploit to gain access to additional potential assets.

Post-Exploitation Assessment

Assess the value of the compromise machine entry point to determine further exploitation.

Initial Reporting

Share a detailed risk description of every reported vulnerability along with POC,and criticality depending on the risk and potential business impact.

Confirmatory Assessment

Thick Client Applications and components are re-tested to validate the applied fix after remediation for the identified observations.

Final Reporting

Based on the test results of the confirmatory assessment, a Pass/Fail report is issued.

What Are the Final Deliverables After the Assessment Is Complete?

A detailed report will be provided outlining the scope of the environment, which was tested, the methodology used, and a detailed explanation of the vulnerabilities detected along with a Proof of Concept (POC). The report will also cover detailed illustrative and possible recommendations to remediate the vulnerability.

Do You Also Patch the Identified Vulnerabilities?

No, we will run the assessment and share the vulnerability report so that the respective teams can work on the remediation.

How Often Should You Conduct a Thick Client Application Testing?

The frequency of Thick Client Application Testing is determined as per the applicable industry security standards for an organization. It also depends upon the Risk Assessment results. However, as an industry best practice, it is recommended to perform these assessments at least once a year or upon a change in the environment.

What Is Your Approach to Perform Thick Client Application Testing? What Are the Tools Involved?

Thick Client Application Testing are typically performed using a combination of manual and automated techniques and technologies to identify vulnerabilities on the application.
