Security testing can ensure you that your product is free from the attacks from hackers and Spammers and the risk of loss of information is minimum.

1. Why Security Testing is necessary for an Application

2. *While creating a product we analyze a lot of things to
create a product with Maximum efficiency. We spend 70
percent of our money on the Quality Services of the
product. After creation of any product the main concern
is its Marketing, Productivity, Maintenance and the most
important thing is its security.
*What if you have analyzed the every possible thing to
make your product most efficient but there is no plan for
its security? So, the need of the hour is how we can make
sure that our Application is secure from the vulnerable
attacks, how we can be more confident about the security
of our product?
*When you have done with all quality assurance steps you
have to go for the Security Testing of the application.
Security testing can ensure you that your product is free
from the attacks from hackers and Spammers and the
risk of loss of information is minimum.

4. *The very basic concern of security is your application
should not allow Unauthorized and Unauthenticated users
to enter in your application. Ethical hackers can make
your private data public can also create Denial of services
to an Authorized and Authenticated User.
*Attackers can also cause the destruction and corruption
to your data which may affect the popularity and
productivity of your product. Sometime the attack is so
much critical that you do not expect that your product is
under attack or someone is hacking your data. Except
these problems the attacks can also affect the Upstream
and downstream of a website which may cause the
excessive traffic to your website or web application and
deny the users to use your application and sometime
there may be loss of data packets which will affect the
business of the popularity of your product Security
Testing comes with great sense of responsibility and
priority.

5. *There are many security techniques which can be used to
enhance the security of your product, some of these are
as below:
 Vulnerability Scanning: In Vulnerability Scanning we
scan the software product to check whether there is any
kind of threat from a malicious software system. The
system to be scan is independent to the connectivity or
not.
 Security Scanning: This scanning is done to verify the
security of a network and it can be done manually as
well as automated.
 Penetration testing: This testing is done with known
paths of code and with the help of port addresses and
IP addresses to test about what extent an attacker can
penetrate a system with known information of a system.
 Risk Assessment: Risk assessment is done to analyze
the risk of security of a system. The risks are analyzed

6.  Security Auditing: Security auditing is done by
inspecting the internal code of a software product. It
can be modular or line by line inspection of code.
 Ethical hacking: Ethical Hacking can be done with the
help of professional hackers to test the security of a
software product.
 Posture Assessment: This is a tailored security testing
technique which is a combination of two or more
security testing techniques.

7. CONCLUSION :
From above discussion on Security of a product we come
on a conclusion that Security Testing is must to ensure
the Quality and to enhance the efficiency of a business.
To make your data secure and unique, to counter the
attacks and loss of data and confidentiality security
Testing is a must. The usability of a software product
should be like no attacker can automate the script and
flood the data on the software product and for that there
should be validation check with every input field.
