What we do

Thick client applications can be two-tier or three-tier architectures. We operate by discovering technologies used on both the client and server side, mapping functionalities and user entry points, identifying common vulnerabilities, and testing for security misconfigurations.

We use the industry standards, our own experience, and knowledge to audit the selected thick application(s). We provide you with the most comprehensive reports to improve their security by following contextual recommendations.

We can work remotely or locally according to your requirements.

Penetration testing - What We Do

When to perform a Thick Application Penetration Test

If you want to:

  • Get a security analysis of one or multiples desktop applications you rely on
