Security, Agility, Speed

We have adopted the following testing approach for the same

Whitebox Testing

Credential Testing.
Full visibility into the inner workings of the asset.
Sharing full network and system information.
Simulates a targeted attack on a specific system.

Greybox Testing

Blackbox testing + Credentialed testing.
Limited information is shared with the tester.
Simulate either an insider threat or an attack that has breached the network perimeter.

Blackbox Testing

Zero visibility into the asset's functions and workflows.
No knowledge of the codebase or infrastructure.
Most authentic as tester demonstrates how an adversary with no inside knowledge would target.
