Center of Excellence Security - Product Penetration Testing

Product Penetration Testing

We uncover vulnerabilities so you can build stronger, more secure products. Focus on innovation while we handle the security challenges.

Product Penetration Testing at COE Security

At COE Security, our Product Penetration Testing service is designed to evaluate the security of your software products, ensuring they are robust against a variety of attacks and vulnerabilities. Whether it’s a web application, mobile app, desktop software, or IoT device, our expert penetration testers simulate real-world attacks to identify weaknesses in the design, development, and deployment phases of your product lifecycle.

We take a comprehensive approach to testing, targeting potential security flaws that could be exploited by cybercriminals to gain unauthorized access, steal data, or disrupt functionality. Our service provides in-depth testing and actionable insights to help you fortify your products against evolving threats, protect your brand reputation, and ensure the safety of your users’ data.

With COE Security’s Product Penetration Testing, you can trust that your product will be resilient to sophisticated attack techniques, ensuring a safe experience for all users.

Our Approach

Define product scope and environment: Identify target platforms, interfaces, protocols, and deployment models to set clear test boundaries.
Map attack surfaces and architecture: Analyze product components, data flows, integrations, and communication channels for exposure points.
Review authentication and user roles: Assess login mechanisms, token handling, role-based access, and session management across all modules.
Test for input validation and injection flaws: Fuzz inputs and simulate attacks for SQLi, XSS, command injection, and deserialization issues.
Assess business logic and process flaws: Check for workflow abuses, bypasses, and misuse of features that violate intended design logic.

Evaluate client-server communication: Analyze traffic for insecure transport, weak encryption, tampering, or unauthorized data access.
Review local and storage vulnerabilities: Inspect file storage, local caching, configuration exposure, and insecure permissions on client devices.
Analyze API and backend security: Test product APIs and server-side logic for broken access, weak auth, and data exposure vulnerabilities.
Perform reverse engineering if applicable: Decompile binaries or apps to detect hardcoded secrets, debug interfaces, and sensitive logic leaks.
Report findings with mitigation plan: Deliver a detailed report with impact analysis, PoCs, and prioritized fixes tailored to the product stack.

Five areas of Product Penetration Testing

Application Security Consulting

In Application Security Consulting, we conduct thorough assessments of your product’s authentication and session management mechanisms. This includes testing for vulnerabilities such as weak passwords, session fixation, and session hijacking. Our goal is to ensure that only authorized users can access sensitive parts of your product, and sessions are properly secured. We also evaluate your product’s ability to detect and mitigate unauthorized access attempts in real-time. By addressing authentication flaws and improving session management, we help strengthen your product’s security, safeguarding user data and reducing the risk of unauthorized breaches or privilege escalation.

Software Compliance Testing

Software Compliance Testing ensures that your product adheres to relevant security standards and industry regulations. We evaluate how the product handles user inputs, looking for vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and other common injection flaws. Our team also checks compliance with secure coding practices and data protection laws, such as GDPR or CCPA. We identify potential weaknesses that attackers could exploit and ensure that your product is resilient to security breaches. This service is essential for protecting your system from attacks that target improper input validation and for ensuring regulatory compliance, preventing costly legal issues.

Cloud Security Consulting

In Cloud Security Consulting, we assess the security of your product’s cloud-based components, including APIs, cloud storage, and communication protocols. We focus on securing cloud infrastructure by testing for insecure APIs, lack of proper authentication mechanisms, and unencrypted data transmissions. By performing these tests, we identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers, potentially leading to unauthorized access or data breaches. We also evaluate the effectiveness of your cloud security controls, ensuring that they meet industry standards. Our comprehensive approach ensures that your cloud-based product is both secure and compliant with the latest cloud security frameworks.

Compliance as a Service

Compliance as a Service focuses on ensuring that your product meets required regulatory standards for data protection and privacy. Our service includes testing for proper encryption of sensitive data, secure storage practices, and the implementation of secure access controls. We verify that your product complies with relevant regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA to ensure that user data is handled with the highest level of security. Additionally, we test the product’s ability to safeguard data throughout its lifecycle from input to storage to transmission helping you avoid costly penalties for non-compliance and building trust with your customers.

Cyber Resilience

Cyber Resilience focuses on evaluating your product’s ability to withstand, recover from, and adapt to security breaches or cyberattacks. We conduct business logic and workflow testing to identify flaws in your product’s functionality that could be exploited by attackers. This includes testing for improper validation of business processes, unauthorized privilege escalation, and critical workflow failures. Our goal is to ensure that even if an attack succeeds, your product can maintain operational continuity, detect issues early, and recover swiftly. We help you implement strategies to minimize downtime and improve your organization’s ability to respond to future security incidents.
