The status quo of “breaking things” is broken. Inconsistent methodologies, tool-led approaches, and poorly scoped tests are coming up short in true risk mitigation. Most discouraging is that some of the largest organizations continue to subscribe to these approaches as part of their OffSec initiatives. If you are looking to achieve deeper results, supported by well-founded threat modeling, you’ve found your security partner in VerSprite. VerSprite Consultation →
Adversarial Security Testing
A key goal of testing exploits–whether on embedded systems, web applications, networks, or even against humans–is determining how easy and impactful successful exploits are against target networks, systems, and applications. White hats in today’s industry can often become more enamored with the hunt versus improving technique and truly understanding impact or attack viability as part of a broader threat context.
VerSprite’s Adversarial Security Services (OffSec) focus on emulating cybercrime and simulating test scenarios that reflect current attack patterns and threat motives. Our OffSec group also focuses on integrated security testing to help organizations integrate OffSec initiatives sooner within a given SDLC process.
CREST Accredited Penetration Testing
VerSprite being CREST-accredited for Defensible Penetration Testing means that VerSprite follows strict guidelines and adheres to industry best practices, resulting in high-quality penetration testing services. Additionally, VerSprite’s approach to security testing is unique in that VerSprite takes a holistic approach, looking at the security risks through the lens of the customer’s business. This approach enables them to simulate an actual attack scenario and provide valuable insights to improve the organization’s overall security posture.
Red Teaming
VerSprite leverages our PASTA (Process for Attack Simulation and Threat Analysis) methodology to apply a risk-based approach to threat modeling. This methodology integrates business impact, inherent application risk, trust boundaries amongst application components, correlated threats, and attack patterns that exploit identified weaknesses from the threat modeling exercises. Prior to the PASTA threat model, most application threat models were not even considering actual threats.
CREST Accredited Mobile Security Testing
Mobile technologies are omnipresent in large enterprises and small businesses alike. However, these same mobile applications get deployed daily with a profusion of vulnerabilities that could be eliminated with proper security assessments. VerSprite offers exclusive security services for Mobile Application Penetration Testing, Source Code Review, and Threat Modeling. VerSprite is part of the CREST OVS program, which ensures that its mobile security services adhere to industry best practices and standards. The OVS program provides customers with assurance that they are receiving high-quality services from a trusted provider. By incorporating OVS into its mobile security services, VerSprite helps ensure that its clients have access to the most current and comprehensive mobile security testing methodologies.
Application Threat Modeling
To accurately and thoroughly assess the security of a web application requires not only a combination of automated and manual testing, but an understanding of the software behind the application. Gathering comprehensive information through reconnaissance and analyzing it effectively does not stop at running tools. Having a background in a wide variety of technologies leads to efficient use of attack vectors and successful security assessments.
We approach security from a holistic risk management perspective by viewing cybersecurity from both a business and attacker perspectives. Our methodology goes beyond assessing security controls. We examine credible threats to understand the likelihood of a real-world abuse case and measure the magnitude of business impact if an attack should occur.
OffSec Approach Based on
Threat Modeling
Examples of integrated, threat-based application security testing include:
Tools are great for breadth, but they dull the senses when getting behind the wheel of exploitation. Our team codes techniques to better enumerate, fuzz, and reverse application components in scope. We emulate cyber-criminal intent far beyond the bounties and traditional pen testing groups.
What are you testing for? Our tests fit into a bigger picture of an application threat model that encompasses not only app components, frameworks, and use cases, but also threat motives, architecture, deployments, actor permission sets, and more.
CREST-accredited for Defensible Penetration Testing (DPT) and Crest OVS helps customers get better penetration testing results by ensuring that the testing is conducted in a professional, rigorous, and consistent manner. CREST is an international not-for-profit accreditation and certification body that represents the technical information security industry. By choosing a CREST-accredited company for penetration testing, customers can be confident that the testing will be carried out by highly skilled and experienced professionals who adhere to a strict code of conduct and follow industry best practices. This ensures that the testing is thorough and unbiased, and that any vulnerabilities discovered are properly identified and prioritized for remediation. Ultimately, CREST-accredited penetration testing can help organizations improve their overall security posture and reduce their risk of cyberattacks.
Our team stays hungry, never resting on a standard set of techniques. Attack patterns change, as does our team’s craft. Consistency is also essential as we pride ourselves in ensuring that our peer review process in every facet of our approach leverages a collective team’s ideas and skill sets.
