Highlights of The Harshwal & Company LLP Security Assessment Process

  • Security Requirements Discussion
  • The initial kick-off typically involves email exchanges, phone call discussions with team members, meetings and possibly a demonstration of the test targets (if required).
  • Internal Penetration Testing
  • This testing starts with the premise that an internal, trusted employee has “clicked the wrong link” or “opened the wrong email attachment” or “plugged in the wrong USB”. At this point, the adversary has a foothold inside the network, and you have been actively compromised. For any internal assets being tested, Harshwal & Company LLP shall employ a strategy that replicates a post-breach situation within the network (i.e. what can be done if an adversary has successfully breached the network perimeter). This testing method involves using a domain workstation as the “compromised victim” along with typical APT cyber-kill-chain activities. Objectives for this testing are to evaluate the internal security controls, security visibility, detection capabilities, security team response to an adversarial threat, and to assess the overall security posture of the internal network. In some cases, specific objectives are set (e.g. retrieve a file from an elevated privilege file server). Objectives can be discussed in more detail prior to the testing.
  • External (Black Box) Network Penetration Testing
  • An External Black-Box Penetration Testing mimics the actions of an actual adversary by attempting to exploit weaknesses in network security without the dangers of a real threat. This test examines external IT systems for any weakness that could be used by an external attacker to disrupt the confidentiality, availability or integrity of the network, thereby allowing the organization to address each weakness. It should be assumed that every actively listening device that is exposed to the internet will constantly be under attack. Examples of listening services that are typically exposed would be email, web, VPN, cloud authentication, cloud storage, etc. Harshwal & Company LLP uses the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES) as well as NIST SP 800-115 as the guideline for all external penetration testing
  • Web Application Penetration Testing
    The manual web application / API penetration test shall cover methodologies based on OWASP Top 10 Most Critical Web Application Security Risks, OWASP Testing Guide v4, CWE/SANS TOP 25 Most Dangerous Software Errors and The Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES) and can include the following high-level categories where applicable to the application or API:
    • Injection (flaws and attacks)
    • Broken Authentication and Session Management
    • Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
    • Insecure Direct Object References
    • Security Misconfigurations
    • Sensitive Data Exposure
    • Missing Function Level Access Control
    • Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
    • Known Vulnerability Testing
    • Unvalidated Redirects and Forwards
  • Network Security Device (Firewall) Configuration Audit
    The objective of a network security device audit is to harden the perimeter of your environment (firewall, VPN, etc.) as well as any common systems (e.g. routers, switches) that are instrumental in the operation of your organization. As part of this engagement, Harshwal & Company LLP will audit 10 network devices. Testing of this type does not require direct access to any targeted security devices. Harshwal & Company LLP will analyze the running configuration of the systems under test in an offline manner.
  • Vulnerability Scanning (Internal and External)
    Vulnerability Scanning of Internal and External Targets (where applicable) shall be included (using CVSS / CVE scoring methods).
