Security - Planit

Application Security & Penetration Testing

In today’s hostile internet environment, the risks associated with system vulnerabilities are substantial as information is exploited, systems corrupted and brands damaged. Planit’s three-pronged approach to data security policies and penetration testing can help you protect your systems by addressing development, use, and infrastructure.

Protect Your Data and Reputation Through Penetration Testing

For many companies, the impact of a security breach can be devastating, with the average data breach cost reaching US$4.35 million in 2022, according to IBM, and 66% of SMBs experiencing a cyberattack in 2019. Using a best-practice approach to application and data security, we provide in-depth reports on system vulnerabilities and help close loopholes through methods like DevSecOps and penetration testing.

Decreased Net Income

A breach of Equifax exposed records of 145.5 million US citizens and 15.2 million in the UK*, resulting from a security program vulnerability that the company failed to patch. The breach cost Equifax $87.5 million in one quarter, a net income fall of 27%*.

Company Value Drop

A Yahoo! breach caused by a a spear-phishing email led to all of its 3 billion user accounts being exposed, three times more than initially thought*. News of the breach caused the purchase price of Yahoo!, which was being acquired, to drop by $350 million*.

Market Cap Loss

57 million Uber customer and driver records were exposed in 2016 after hackers used credentials, mistakenly left by an Uber engineer in a version control repository, to access a server*. Following the breach, Uber shares were valuated $20 billion or 30% less*.

How Can We Help?

By identifying security gaps and simulating real-world attacks, we help strengthen your defenses, ensure compliance, and protect sensitive data, giving you confidence in the security of your applications.

Penetration Testing

Penetration Testing, also known as ethical hacking, is the testing a computer system, network, or web application to find security vulnerabilities that can be exploited by an attacker. Let our security experts find the vulnerabilities so that you can secure them before they get found by someone else who shouldn’t.

Secure Architecture Design and Configuration Review

An early design or configuration review in the system lifecycle helps to identify any potential weaknesses and/or entry points that hackers could exploit. Our security experts will compare your security architecture design against both industry best practices and current attack vectors to prevent attacks before they happen.

Application Security

Our security team can help make your digital products more secure by finding and fixing security issues and recommending appropriate security controls, starting as early as the development phase. We also have the necessary tools and methods to protect your software and apps once they are deployed.

DevSecOps

DevSecOps integrates security practices throughout the CI/CD pipeline where required. Our security team will help facilitate ongoing, flexible collaboration between release engineers and security teams, leading to a Living Security culture.

Social Engineering / Phishing

Phishing attacks use email or malicious web sites to trick users into sharing personal, often financial, information, which the attackers then use to gain access to accounts. Our security experts will help secure your contact points so that phising attacks won’t come through to users, and implement safety measures to protect them if any attacks do get through.

Virtual CISO

Not every organisation needs a full-time chief information security officer (CISO) on site. Our virtual CISO (vCISO) service provides access to our top-tier security analysts for security expertise and guidance whenever you need it.

Threat and Risk Assessment

Our Threat and Risk Assessment will analyse your digital product for vulnerabilities, the potential threats associated with those weaknesses, and the resulting security risks. Our security analysts can then plan and recommend what countermeasures to take.

Security Awareness Programmes

Security starts and ends with people, our people centric Security Awareness Programme tests and trains your talent to detect and ignore phishing and social engineering attacks.

Business Continuity Planning (BCP)

With our Business Continuity Planning (BCP) services, your business stays resilient during IT outages by mitigating risks and ensuring continuity. We start by analysing your vital business functions and systems, then craft a plan to handle potential disasters. This proactive approach helps you maintain operations even in the event of outages, ensuring your business always remains profitable and competitive.

Disaster/Recovery Planning (DRP)

Our Disaster/Recovery Planning (DRP) services aim to minimise IT system failures and ensure rapid recovery. We assess your current recovery strategies and work with your team to design and rigorously test a plan for seamless system recovery and data protection. By simulating disaster scenarios, we ensure your recovery processes are effective, up-to-date, and capable of swiftly restoring critical systems and data.
