How secure are your applications?

When it comes to application penetration testing, there are numerous options, all with different outcomes for the testing process. At Intrix Cyber Security, our Offensive Cyber Security Professionals (OSCPs) can help with both advising and running the most suitable types of application penetration testing for your organisation.

What are the different kinds of application penetration testing?

There are three main types of application penetration testing:

 

  • Black Box/External penetration testing
  • White Box penetration testing
  • Grey Box penetration testing

What are the differences between Black Box, White Box and Grey Box application penetration testing?

Black Box (External) penetration testing

Intrix Cyber Security will typically perform reconnaissance work and try to obtain sensitive information, this allows our OSCPs to be in the shoes of the hackers with as much detail as possible. We will not require access to any internal information, application or company networks. 

 

White Box penetration testing

This process allows our OSCPs to have complete, open access to your application and systems. We will:

  • examine security exposure,
  • common misconfigurations,
  • poorly written source code, and
  • lack of defensive measures. 

This assessment is more comprehensive than Black Box penetration testing as we carry out both internal and external assessments that are typically not available to hackers.

 

Grey Box penetration testing

This process allows our OSCPs some internal access and knowledge in the form of low-level access credentials. This is simulating the attacker already penetrating the application with a form of internal network access. This efficient and streamlined approach allows our consultants to focus on exploiting potential vulnerabilities on critical systems.
