Secure Applications
Desktop applications are essential to business operations, handling sensitive data, critical workflows, and direct access to underlying system resources. However, they are frequently targeted by attackers looking to exploit vulnerabilities in application logic, local data storage, or interprocess communications.
SilentGrid's Desktop Application Penetration Testing simulates real-world attack scenarios to uncover vulnerabilities that could lead to unauthorised code execution, privilege escalation, and data leakage. By testing the application's resilience at every level, we help organisations secure their desktop software and protect users across Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms.
Our testing covers Windows, macOS, and Linux environments, ensuring vulnerabilities are identified across multiple platforms and addressing platform-specific attack vectors.
We evaluate desktop applications from installation to execution, testing for weaknesses that could compromise user environments, data integrity, or system security.
SilentGrid simulates real-world attack techniques to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited to gain unauthorised access, bypass controls, or escalate privileges within the operating system.
SilentGrid's desktop penetration testing aligns with OWASP Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS) and draws on techniques from reverse engineering, exploit development, and secure coding practices.
SilentGrid's desktop assessments provide actionable insights that help development teams enhance the security of their desktop applications.
