Audits
All organizations rely on critical applications and IT infrastructures that are essential to their business, or to the survival of their activities.
In a context where cyberthreats are constantly evolving, it is crucial to regularly check the robustness of the security defenses in place to better protect against cyberattacks on your digital assets.
Our Center of Expertise for Security Audits and Tests is a privileged partner, able to provide our customers with a precise assessment of the possibility of cyber-attacks on their most sensitive assets.
We carry out in-depth analysis of your IT assets’ defenses, through security audits and tests covering all layers of our customers’ information systems: source code, applications, as well as the underlying
IT infrastructures.
This exhaustive approach guarantees a clear view of vulnerabilities, as well as the areas for improvement needed to strengthen security.
Regular
phishing tests
Over 90% of cyberattackstargeting organizations’ digital assets exploit phishing, duping employees via malicious email or mobile messages.
To counter this threat, our Center of Expertise carries out full-scale phishing tests. These simulations enable us to continuously detect employees who behave inappropriately when using their e-mail accounts, and to raise their awareness.
Thanks to our AI-based tool, we can offer the most realistic phishing scenarios, simulating fraudulent e-mails, fake intranet logins, as well as sophisticated traps involving USB keys or QR codes.
This global approach helps to better identify cyber weaknesses in human resources, to help employees distinguish malicious messages from legitimate communications, and above all to build awareness programs tailored to the context of each organization.
These phishing tests give executives and managers a precise and regular overview of their employees’ vulnerability to phishing.
These results can be broken down by subsidiary, region, country, department or function, and can be used for targeted actions to raise staff awareness of the right way to use the company messaging system.
Auditing source code
applications
Cyber vulnerabilities are often introduced at the earliest stages of development of organizations’ mission-critical applications, not least because developers or service providers are insufficiently trained in secure development practices. To remedy this, our Security Auditing and Testing Center of Expertise helps organizations build development chains that integrate security right from the design stage, in line with DevSecOps guidelines and methodology.
Leveraging an AI-based auditing platform, we carry out in-depth audits of the source code of mission-critical applications, whether they’re hosted in your in-house IT system, at your partners’, or in the Cloud. These audits eliminate potential vulnerabilities at the root, such as programming errors, business logic flaws, or various other security gaps, which constitute future backdoors for hackers.
Our Expertise Center’s code audit includes the detection of known vulnerabilities, in line with OWASP standards for web applications (such as SQL or XSS injections), as well as an assessment of compliance with software security best practices.
We offer remediation recommendations in the form of corrected lines of code, ready to be integrated directly by developers into their code. This approach guarantees a rapid and efficient improvement process, producing more secure applications as soon as they are updated.
Perform penetration tests
on web applications
Web applications play a central role in an organization’s business and reputation. For many companies, they are essential, whether for generating sales or for internal operations, especially with the widespread use of extranets.
Our Center of Expertise performs Web penetration tests to verify regulatory compliance or assess critical vulnerabilities exposed to cyber-attacks on the Internet. These tests include dynamic analysis and simulated black-box, gray-box and white-box attack scenarios, giving executives and managers an up-to-date view of the risks to which their vital web applications are exposed.
Test results are presented in the form of clear, accessible executive reports, enabling managers to quickly understand the business issues associated with the identified vulnerabilities. In addition, detailed technical reports are provided to IT and security teams, with evidence of attack patterns and exploited vulnerabilities, for effective support.
Finally, our Center of Expertise supports customers in the remediation of identified vulnerabilities, ensuring regular monitoring and rigorous reporting on the progress of remediation plans. This approach guarantees continuous improvement in web application security and a reduction in cyber risks.
Intrusion testing of
IT infrastructures
We test the security of IT infrastructures, including servers, database management systems, network equipment, as well as critical system infrastructures such as Active Directory and virtualized environments, simulating both internal and external attacks.
These tests include in-depth analysis of infrastructure components to identify potential vulnerabilities in several key areas:
Active Directory and identity management
We assess the security of Active Directory environments, a core element of information systems. This includes analyzing configurations, permissions and group policies (GPOs), as well as looking for exploitable flaws such as privilege escalation, accounts with excessive permissions or poor password management practices.
We also carry out tests to identify vulnerabilities related to authentication, administration protocols (LDAP, Kerberos) or service accounts.
System configurations
We check the robustness of system configurations, including servers (Windows, Linux, Unix), databases and critical services. This includes looking for obsolete software, unmodified default configurations or unnecessary enabled services, which could be exploited by attackers.
Virtualized and Cloud environments
Our analyses also extend to virtualized infrastructures (VMware, Hyper-V) and Cloud environments (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud), where we assess the security of deployments, access and management interfaces.
Other critical systems
We check backup, disaster recovery (DRP) and high-availability solutions to ensure that they are free of vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers.
Our tests include exploitation scenarios of known vulnerabilities (exploits), simulated attacks based on “black box”, “gray box” or “white box” approaches, and attempts to bypass security systems.
The results of these tests are provided in the form of clear, concise executive reports, enabling managers to understand the critical issues for their organization, as well as detailed technical reports for IT and security teams. The latter include concrete evidence of the vulnerabilities detected, the attack scenarios carried out, and specific recommendations for each component analyzed.
Finally, our Center of Expertise supports our customers in the development and implementation of remediation plans. We provide rigorous monitoring and detailed reporting to ensure that every identified vulnerability is effectively addressed, reinforcing the overall resilience of the infrastructure.
We carry out in-depth tests on our customers’ internal and external networks to detect intrusions, spyware or vulnerabilities that could compromise the security of their information systems. These analyses aim to identify weak points such as backdoors, improperly opened accesses, incorrect configurations or SPOFs (Single Point of Failure) that could jeopardize all or part of the organization’s critical infrastructures.
Scope of our network audits
Our Audit and Test Center of Expertise covers a wide range of infrastructures and technologies.
Network segmentation and isolation analysis
Well-designed network segmentation and isolation are essential to limit the spread of threats.
