Security testing is a process used to identify loopholes and weaknesses in the security mechanisms that protect data and maintain the functionality of an information system. It provides confidentiality, integrity, authentication, authorization, and non-repudiation. It also safeguards software, data, applications, and resources against threats, risks, malicious attacks, and vulnerabilities. In addition, it helps detect possible security risks that can lead to loss of information or damage the reputation of an organization. Its key areas include network, system software, client-side application, and server-side application securities, which assist developers in fixing security problems.

Security Testing Market Trends:
Due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak and implementation of lockdown in numerous countries, companies of different industry verticals are adopting remote working models to retain business continuity and maintain social distancing. This model offers network connection to multiple devices with different security controls, thereby increasing security concerns. This represents one of the major factors propelling organizations to opt for security testing services for constant monitoring, upgrading their network security software and reaching customers in real-time. Apart from this, the global expansion and digitization of business processes through advanced technologies are increasing the risk of cybersecurity threats. In line with this, as cybercriminals and hackers usually attack confidential data of an organization, thereby resulting in huge financial losses to individuals, enterprises, and governing agencies, the application of security testing is increasing in the banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) sector. The rising use of online banking services is also contributing to market growth. Furthermore, expanding e-commerce activities are encouraging organizations to incorporate security testing solutions that can identify vulnerabilities and help reduce the threat landscape.
