Cybersecurity Testing

Running cybersecurity testing activities within your organization shouldn’t be an option; there should be requirements in place to ensure that cybersecurity testing occurs as part of your cybersecurity program. An example includes ensuring that a web application has undergone cybersecurity testing activities before being released into production. The same applies to mobile applications. To ensure that this happens, processes must be in place to ensure the correct scrutiny and testing of any application (or solution) occurs before go-live. This essentially ties back to the broader Architecture Review Board (ARB) process and the need to ensure that all cybersecurity requirements have been met before anything goes into production. This doesn’t just apply to application testing but also to all other types of testing activity that allow vulnerabilities to be identified within your organization.
