Case Study: a US-based international digital bank strengthens banking app security with ScienceSoft's gray box pentesting

a us-based international digital bank uncovers 11 security issues in 2 weeks with ScienceSoft

ScienceSoft was engaged by a US-based international digital bank to perform regular penetration testing on its globally used banking platform. The bank's challenge was to proactively identify and address emerging security vulnerabilities in its continuously evolving web and mobile applications to maintain a strong cybersecurity posture and protect customer data.

Using a gray box penetration testing approach, ScienceSoft examined the bank's web, iOS, and Android apps. The testing revealed 11 security issues, which the vendor classified and provided specific remediation measures for, such as implementing input validation and more secure encryption modes. As a result, the bank was able to rapidly fortify its application security and further enhance the protection of its platform and customer data.
