What is Security Testing?

Security testing is a type of software testing that identifies vulnerabilities, threats, and risks in a software application and measures its potential vulnerabilities. It ensures that the application is secure from external or internal threats.

Security Testing Objectives

•Identify Vulnerabilities: Find security weaknesses in the application
•Assess Risk Levels: Determine the severity of security issues
•Validate Security Controls: Ensure security measures work properly
•Compliance Verification: Meet regulatory and industry standards
•Threat Modeling: Understand potential attack vectors
•Security Awareness: Educate development teams

    "Vulnerability Assessment": {
        "Purpose": "Identify known security vulnerabilities",
        "Scope": "Automated scanning of common issues",
        "Tools": "Nessus, OpenVAS, Qualys",
        "Frequency": "Regular scans (weekly/monthly)"
    },

Penetration Testing Phases

•Reconnaissance: Information gathering about the target
•Scanning: Identifying open ports and services
•Enumeration: Gathering detailed information about services
•Vulnerability Assessment: Identifying security weaknesses
•Exploitation: Attempting to exploit vulnerabilities
•Post-Exploitation: Maintaining access and gathering data
•Reporting: Documenting findings and recommendations

GDPR Compliance Testing

•Data Protection by Design: Privacy built into systems
•Consent Management: Proper consent collection and management
•Data Subject Rights: Right to access, rectification, erasure
•Data Breach Notification: Incident response procedures
•Data Processing Records: Documentation of processing activities
•Privacy Impact Assessments: Risk assessment for data processing

HIPAA Compliance Testing

•Administrative Safeguards: Security policies and procedures
•Physical Safeguards: Physical access controls
•Technical Safeguards: Technical security measures
•Breach Notification: Incident response procedures
•Business Associate Agreements: Third-party vendor management
•Risk Assessment: Regular security risk evaluations
