Automated Security Validation

The Power of ​Automated Security Validation

Without the ability to continuously validate security measures, we’re flying blind.  Automated Security Validation provides a proactive approach to discovering vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. By simulating real-world attacks and automatically testing defences, ASV ensures that your security posture is always current –  and effective. 

Future Flexibility

ASV helps move strategy from reactive to proactive, allowing the organisation to detect and fix weaknesses before they become critical issues.

Manual security testing is time-consuming, resource-intensive, and prone to human error.  Automated Security Validation offers a scalable solution that grows with your organization and adapts to new threats.
Using the "Superpower" of Automated Testing​

Manual security testing is valuable, but time-consuming, expensive, and prone to inconsistencies.

Automation using ASV delivers a better result through improved resources utilisation, increased accuracy and identification of areas where your existing security tools are underperforming.

Automated Security Validation Roadmap

Requirement Gathering and Planning​
Identify problems that automated security validation can solve. Talk to stakeholders to gather requirements, including compliance standards, threats to address, and integration needs with existing security processes. Create an implementation plan that aligns with current processes.​
Tool Selection and Integration Design
Evaluate and research various security validation tools and platforms that align with the organization's needs. Consider factors such as compatibility, ease of use, scalability, and the ability to automate a wide range of security tests. Design the security validation framework, including integrating different tools and managing automated processes.
Implementation and Integration
Install and set up automated security validation tools to integrate with existing security systems and workflows. Automate vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and compliance checks. Develop scripts and processes for regular or event-based security validations. Ensure the automation system generates detailed reports and alerts for security teams.
Testing, Optimisation and Validation
Deploy security validation system, train staff on interpreting results, respond to alerts, and maintain the system. Continuously monitor and update automation to stay ahead of security threats and organizational needs. Regularly review and enhance automation scripts, tools, and policies for improved effectiveness.
Deployment and Continuous Improvement
Deploy the enhanced authentication system to the production environment, using a phased approach if necessary. Provide training and resources to help users and administrators adapt to the new system. Implement continuous monitoring to detect and respond to potential threats in real time. Regularly review the authentication processes and policies, making adjustments as needed to respond to emerging threats and evolving business needs.
