Application Security Testing: The security of assets is a key concern for all organizations. Firewalls, IDS, IPS, and UTMS etc have been traditionally used for security but the hacking of internal web applications still poses a threat. The three main components comprise -
Vulnerability Assessment which can identify security flaws and risk due to internal threats, Penetration Testing which identifies vulnerabilities in the web applications, and Grey Box testing which is leveraged to carry out targeted attacks with various tools and manual test cases are used in this testing. The penetration testing provides an external view of the security status while the vulnerability assessment service provides detailed internal security issues arising from insecure configurations, weak setting and policy non compliance of the IT assets.
The need for this testing is for any organization that has a web presence where its applications are exposed to the end customer, vendor or partner. The outcome of this for the organization will be on demand service with the flexibility to schedule your tests, a written report about the state of the current application security and support though your mitigation life cycle.

Secure Code Checking: During the development and Quality Assurance processes (QA) application security becomes a priority for any organization. Secure code review is a semi automatic process. It is the process of auditing code for an application on a line by line basis for its security quality. Code review is a means of ensuring that the application is developed appropriately.

Database Security Testing: Any organizations database servers usually hold sensitive and valuable data such as customer, employee and supplier details or financial information. Access to this data by the wrong people can be detrimental for any organization. Our services include: Cost effectiveness & predictability, on –demand service with the flexibility to schedule your tests, penetration test of the clients database using a variety tools, load testing, a written report and support through your mitigation life cycle. e-Zest tools are available to test databases such as: Oracle, MySQL, and Microsoft.

Network Security Testing: With this you get a hacker’s eye view of the system and help you to identify security lapses. The level of security preparedness of any organization is assessed. Latest methodologies, tools and techniques are regularly employed and constantly upgraded to counter all threats and risks. Our experts test and certify your systems for absolute security. The three components used in this service are: Light Perimeter Test which includes testing the strength of the perimeter from a remote location. Full Perimeter test which verifies the security of the perimeter with remote exploitation of the DMZ and accessible internal systems. Application test which tests the application layer, web server application and database server. The benefits that accrue are categorization of weaknesses based on risk level, details of security lapses and emergency quick fix problems.

The e-Zest experts are adept at using a combination of their services of manual penetration (to manually probe your application) static security testing (utilizing the latest in automated technology) and dynamic security testing ( using live testers and automated tools ) to deliver unsurpassed excellence to your organization !
