What is Security Testing?
16 April, 2019
Security testing is a testing technique that determines whether an application can protect its data and maintain its functionality.
Security testing covers the following: 1️⃣Confidentiality - protects against the disclosure of information to parties other than the intended recipient 2️⃣Integrity - protects information from being modified by unauthorized parties 3️⃣Authentication - confirming the identity of a person, it confirms who you are 4️⃣Authorization - determining if a requester is allowed to receive a service or perform an operation, it figures out what you can do after you’ve been authenticated 5️⃣Availability - assuring information and communication services will be ready for use when expected 6️⃣Non-repudiation - ensures that a transferred message has been sent and received by the parties claiming to have sent and received the message
In the next few posts, I’ll cover some of the ways that you can test for security!
