Security Testing

What is Security Testing?

Most companies have experienced the unfortunate consequences of computer security breaches. The risks come from a host of sources ranging from disgruntled employees to malicious outsiders with no apparent motive. Security testing eliminates the loopholes that unauthorised parties use to gain access to software systems.

The Need for Security Testing

Most businesses are aware of the significant financial loss that occurs when an unauthorised party has gained access to the company’s finances. Some of the worst financial losses result from industrial espionage, legal proceedings as a result of privacy violations, and loss of revenues when hackers overload a system with junk data. It is estimated that about 90% of companies have sustained a security-related financial loss, with 74% of these suffering significantly.

However, the most serious damage that occurs as a result of breached security is the loss of customer confidence. The resultant loss of market credibility can undermine the company’s best marketing initiatives.
