Security Testing
What is Security Testing?
Â
Security measures protect Web systems from both internal and external threats. E-commerce concerns and the growing popularity of Web-based applications have made security testing increasingly relevant. Security tests determine whether a company’s security policies have been properly implemented; they evaluate the functionality of existing systems, not whether the security policies that have been implemented are appropriate.
