Q&A
Q: How does a desktop application pose a security risk?
A: An insecure desktop application can provide a gateway for attackers to access your network. It could have vulnerabilities that allow them to steal data, execute malicious code, or gain elevated privileges on a user's machine.
Q: What kind of vulnerabilities do you look for?
A: We look for a wide range of vulnerabilities, including buffer overflows, injection flaws, insecure file permissions, and insecure data storage on a user's local machine.
Q: Is your assessment limited to customer-facing applications?
A: No, we assess both internal and customer-facing applications. Internal applications can be just as risky, as a compromise could provide an attacker with a foothold inside your corporate network.
Q: How is this different from a web application assessment?
A: Desktop applications have a different attack surface. We focus on vulnerabilities specific to the desktop environment, such as how the application handles local data storage, system permissions, and interaction with the operating system.
