What is Thick Client Penetration Testing?
Thick client penetration testing is an assessment designed to identify and fix cybersecurity vulnerabilities in desktop applications using the same tools and techniques as hackers. Whether the thick client built on a two tier or three tier architecture, our assessments allow organizations to identify and fix real-world opportunites for hackers to exploit their company’s applications to launch further malicious acts on their user’s computer.
Thick Client Top Vulnerabilities
One of the most common thick client vulnerabilities is an operating system vulnerability. Thick clients usually rely on the underlying operating system for security, so any flaws in the OS can be exploited by attackers. Another thick client vulnerability is related to information gathering. thick clients often store a lot of sensitive data locally, making it a prime target for attackers looking to steal sensitive information.
Finally, thick clients are often complex applications that can be difficult to secure. This complexity can make it difficult for security professionals to identify and fix vulnerabilities in a timely manner. As a result, thick clients are often one of the most vulnerable types of systems in an organization.
