Case Study: a fintech firm strengthens trading platform security with ScienceSoft's gray box pentesting

Fintech Firm secures trading platform in 9 days with ScienceSoft

The customer, a fintech firm, engaged ScienceSoft to perform penetration testing on its trading solution for cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and stocks. The fintech firm's challenge was to evaluate the cyber protection of its platform's public network, API, and web and mobile applications to prevent potential crypto asset theft.

ScienceSoft implemented a gray box penetration testing approach, which revealed several security weaknesses including an insecure protocol version and weak SSL ciphers. Following ScienceSoft's remediation advice, the fintech firm successfully fixed the issues, mitigating risks of data breaches and asset theft. The entire project, including a retest to validate the fixes, was completed by ScienceSoft in just nine days.
