Our Approach to Security Testing:
- Discovery – Understand (a) Business requirement, (b) Security and regulations & (c) Test objectives
- Plan – Conduct exhaustive analysis
- Design – List the vulnerabilities and risks and design tests and select the respective tools
- Execute – Conduct tests and provide score
- Report – Prepare a comprehensive report with POC’s (Videos) along with remediations and provide a walkthrough
Conclusion
In a nutshell, ACUDAY conducts scans to assess the external security of the Sportsbook as well as several breach-related business metrics and provide a comprehensive picture of the Sportsbook resiliency with a score. If a site’s RISK score is HIGH, it suggests that several standard security measures are probably not in place. A LOW score means the developers have given thought to web security and are taking steps to keep the Sportsbook data as private as reasonably possible.
