Black Box Testing
QMD's intrusion testing technique is advanced and doesn't require prior knowledge of the IT environment or access credentials to systems and applications. This approach is designed to identify potential vulnerabilities in your organization's systems and applications without extensive information.
For external testing, only the customer's domain is required, while for internal testing, access to a network point may be necessary. Our experienced team uses cutting-edge tools and techniques to simulate attacks and identify potential vulnerabilities in your systems and applications.
We work closely with our clients to tailor our testing to their specific needs and provide detailed reports that highlight our findings and recommendations for remediation. Our comprehensive approach to identifying potential vulnerabilities can help prevent cyber attacks and maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your digital assets.
