Security Testing
Without AI & With AI Integration
Without AI
01
Test Planning & Scoping:
Objective: Identify and define the critical areas of the website for security testing (e.g., user login, payment gateway, sensitive data storage).
Steps:
Review security requirements and regulations (e.g., GDPR, PCI-DSS).
Identify key components of the website that require security validation.
02
Vulnerability Scanning
Objective: Run scans to detect vulnerabilities such as SQL injections, XSS, CSRF, etc.
Steps:
Use tools like OWASP ZAP or Nessus to scan the website for security flaws.
Manually validate critical security vulnerabilities and areas where automated tools may miss potential issues.
03
Penetration Testing
Objective: Simulate attacks to identify potential security weaknesses.
Steps:
Perform ethical hacking or penetration tests to exploit vulnerabilities and understand the impact.
Conduct SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and other tests to mimic common cyberattacks.
04
Defect Reporting & Remediation
Objective: Identify security flaws and ensure they are addressed by the development team.
Steps:
Log identified vulnerabilities with descriptions, impact analysis, and remediation suggestions.
Work with developers to patch security flaws and verify their fixes.
05
Final Security Sign-Off
Objective: Ensure that all security concerns are addressed and the website is secure.
Steps:
Confirm that all critical vulnerabilities have been resolved.
Generate a final security report that includes the findings, remediation steps, and security recommendations.
With AI
01
AI-Powered Threat Identification
Objective: AI identifies new and emerging security vulnerabilities in the website automatically.
Steps:
AI analyzes historical security incidents and usage patterns to predict likely attack vectors.
AI learns from previous security testing data and automatically suggests new areas to test based on real-time threat intelligence.
02
Automated Penetration Testing with AI
Objective: Use AI to simulate complex attack scenarios and identify vulnerabilities at a faster pace.
Steps:
AI automatically runs advanced penetration testing techniques, simulating real-world hacker behavior.
AI can identify subtle vulnerabilities that might otherwise go unnoticed.
03
AI-Driven Threat Detection
Objective: AI continuously monitors the website for potential threats and breaches.
Steps:
AI uses machine learning models to detect unusual behavior and flag potential security risks in real-time.
The AI system can immediately alert security teams and take predefined actions (e.g., blocking IP addresses, suspending accounts) when a threat is detected.
04
Predictive Vulnerability Scanning
Objective: AI predicts vulnerabilities before they occur based on historical data.
Steps:
AI continuously scans the website for potential vulnerabilities, even predicting weaknesses based on trends in cybersecurity and the website’s history.
AI can prioritize vulnerabilities based on their potential impact, improving efficiency.
05
AI-Enhanced Security Reporting
Objective: Use AI to generate actionable security insights and remediation steps automatically.
Steps:
AI identifies patterns in security data and suggests solutions to improve security.
Generate comprehensive reports that highlight potential attack vectors and solutions for mitigating risks.
