IMPORTANCE OF QA IN CYBERSECURITY

Today quality assurance is not only limited to the functionality and requirements of a software application but quality assurance is also being implemented in other areas such as performance, stability, and security of applications.
The need for cybersecurity-focused quality assurance is due to the increase in cyber-attacks on different companies and systems.

To make our system secure it is necessary to implement international security standards and also focus on risk areas of the application, our highly qualified QA teams work hard to achieve such security in all aspects. 

Our QA works with several types of tests that are related to analyzing and fix all those bugs that may be detected by these tests, mainly we are going to talk about # related to computer security:

  • Vulnerability scanner: This kind of test are, as its name says, a very high-level review of any kind of security vulnerability that the system or application may have. Vulnerability scanner: This kind of tests are, as its name says, a very high-level review of any kind of security vulnerability that the system or application may have.
  • Security Scan: These tests involve a more detailed review of the application and the system in general. Not only are security checks performed on the system, but the network environment is also reviewed to test for vulnerabilities or risks to be fixed.
  • Pen testing tests: These tests simulate a hacker attack. These tests confirm how the system will react to an external attack.
  • Risk Management: Throughout these tests, the system is evaluated, but also how potential security risks are handled within the organization, here the human part of the organization is also evaluated, and these tests recommend measures and actions to be taken to avoid and/or minimize such risks.
  • Security Audit: These are tests performed on applications and operating systems in search of security flaws. These tests are not limited only to certain applications but are performed on entire system environments.
  • Ethical Hacking: These tests are performed on the organization’s systems in the same way that a Hacker would attack the organization, unlike a hacker this attack does not seek to steal information from the organization but seeks to highlight security flaws or vulnerabilities to be fixed.
  • Posture Management: These are combined tests of Security Scanning, Ethical Hacking, and Risk Management to globally evaluate the security level of the organization.

In conclusion, it is of utmost importance to include security testing in every one of the projects since most systems and applications are now connected to the Internet in one way or another and this gives them greater visibility to the world and therefore these systems are exposed to cyber-attacks. 

t is important for an organization to present itself to the outlook as a company prepared for the changes that the world requires and that is up to date with the current needs of the market, in addition, the confidence of users in a system is extremely important, a user will not want to enter their information into a system and use it if they are not 100% sure that such information will not be leaked accidentally or intentionally.
