The need for reliable and scalable application security, delivered when and how you need it
As security breaches continue to increase, are you staying ahead of sophisticated threat actors? How can you protect critical applications, inspire stakeholder trust, and build resilience in a volatile world?
One way is with application security testing, which is an essential layer of cybersecurity. And in today’s environment of constant change, testing must go far beyond point-in-time assessments.
Instead, it should be ongoing and comprehensive, continually scanning for threats and ensuring proper controls across devices, applications, networks, and application programming interfaces (APIs).
An ever-evolving journey
That’s why KPMG offers Managed Application Security Testing (MAST), customized to your business strategy and compliance requirements. This managed service combines advanced technology, leading practice, and industry-specific expertise—including analysts who are certified in offensive security—to help you actively evolve your security program at the pace of threats.
KPMG MAST services include:
- Full-stack application/API testing at scale
With advanced manual penetration testing of web apps, mobile apps and APIs, we identify and exploit the business logic vulnerabilities that may be missed by automated scanners. - Cloud and network testing
We combine manual and automated techniques for cloud, external, internal and wireless testing. And because testing is on a recurring basis, you can avoid the extensive remediation efforts that typically occur with annual testing. - Automated vulnerability management
In addition to providing automated vulnerability scanning of applications, APIs and systems, we cohesively integrate the findings into a single pane of glass. That means consolidated vulnerability management, triage, remediation, and integration with your DevOps and ticketing platforms. - Ongoing, collaborative red and purple teaming
With our red team exercises, we simulate real-world attacks that could be carried out by malicious actors, thereby identifying weaknesses in your defenses. Our experts use techniques such as social engineering, phishing and penetration testing to infiltrate systems and access sensitive data—uncovering opportunities for improvement.
Meanwhile, our purpe team exercises deliver all the benefits of red teaming — plus high collaboration between our testers and your security operations center (the blue team). Our goal is to identify and address weaknesses in your security infrastructure, while working together to strengthen your posture.
