Sydney, Australia: The pandemic has resulted in many businesses closing up shop and many more moving online to survive. But with the spike in business operations being conducted online, organizations become more susceptible to malicious cybersecurity attacks and customer data breaches. In 2019 alone, businesses lost more than $600 billion worldwide due to cyber-crimes. As a result, many businesses are hesitant to conduct commerce through mobile applications.

With customers increasingly preferring to shop on their phones, a large bank of sensitive data is available online that hackers are always looking to gain access to. Businesses tend to forget that securing their website and mobile application systems is not a set-it-and-forget-it thing. Instead, security must be maintained regularly to check for any vulnerabilities that can be targeted by those looking to steal confidential data.
Penetration testing is fast emerging as a convenient solution for website security systems. Penetration testing involves simulating a virtual attack on a website to check for any vulnerabilities in its system.

These attacks are made to assess how long an external party can penetrate the website and gain access to sensitive data without being detected by the system. They can provide objective evaluations for the damage caused by such an intrusion without actually damaging the system. The main objective is to detect weaknesses in the code to be patched before the mobile application is released.

Lean Security, an Australian cyber-security firm, uses AI-powered technology to conduct comprehensive security tests on mobile applications for companies worldwide. Talking about the importance of pen tests, a spokesperson said, “Penetration testing is the need of the hour. We can’t let businesses lose money just because some punk thought it was funny to hack into their system. The reality is that businesses have suffered enough during the lockdown recession as is; we don’t need to add to their misery. We see websites getting blacklisted from Google because of a cyber-attack, and they lose more than just their website’s security; they lose their credibility in the face of customers too.”

Lean Security uses the latest technology for AI-powered penetration testing that gives comprehensive results. The spokesperson added, “At Lean Security, we keep updating our technology to look for new threats, hacking techniques, and security vulnerabilities used to take over websites. We ensure that you can protect your customers’ information as well as your organization’s sensitive data, reputation, and credibility.”
Lean Security has been providing industry-leading security systems and accurate pen testing services for businesses worldwide.
