Providing security - enabling business

Sapphire’s Remote Testing Service group (RTS) uses a combination of proprietary, commercial, and open source tools and techniques to assess the security of a network from outside the organization’s network or a web application accessible remotely over the Internet.

This provides the CLIENT with an in-depth understanding of their security posture facing externally, past the perimeter firewalls and defenses. There are two major avenues of access for hackers and malicious attackers who are looking to compromise our clients from an external vantage point –

  1. Open network services & ports such as SMTP (email), HTTP/HTTPS (web), FTP/SSH/SFTP etc (misc. services);
  2. Web applications that serve static/dynamic content and user functionality.
Remote Network Testing (RNT)

For this, the RTS  team focuses solely on perimeter network devices and systems with services accessible from the internet.

We know that services such as SMTP, FTP, SSH, VPN etc. are necessary for the smooth functioning and administration of our CLIENT’s networks. But these services need to be tested regularly for missing patches, updates, insecure configurations or security vulnerabilities that are announced from time to time. Open source and commercial scanners are used for coverage and high level reconnaissance and testing, as detailed in our methodology beginning on the next page. This is followed by rigorous manual testing that investigates issues and potential issues in depth.

Remote Application Testing (RAT)

Every business is driven in this day and age by web-applications serving static or dynamic content to its customers. These applications may sometimes be the major avenue of inbound attack from malicious entities that are looking to compromise and gather sensitive PII, credit card data, intellectual property or information that may give them competitive advantage.

Applications evolve and as the technologies they use are affected by vulnerabilities, reconfiguration and updates may be necessary. Applications themselves may have code changes and updates, or be inherently vulnerable to security holes. We help you identify, mitigate and solve these security issues. Once again, the process starts with an automated scan to cover the breadth of the application, with in-depth manual testing that follows.
