A payments provider picks HN Security to secure his app

Use Case

Cyber security

The Challenge

The company behind a popular payment app needed a thorough assessment of its security posture. The app presented a significant technical challenge, as it implemented proprietary encryption and signature schemes in addition to standard security protocols, rendering conventional testing ineffective.

The Solution

HUMANATIVA applied its source-assisted verification methodology using Brida, an advanced tool developed in-house. This approach made it possible to thoroughly test the application’s backend, overcoming the barriers posed by proprietary schemas and identifying critical issues that had previously gone unnoticed.

The Benefits

The assessment revealed deep-seated vulnerabilities that had eluded competitors, enabling the client to address flaws that could have had devastating consequences for users’ reputations and financial security. The result was a significant tightening of security standards across the entire payment ecosystem.

Humanativa’s role

HUMANATIVA conducted the engagement employing highly-skilled personnel, its security testing methodology, and advanced testing tools built by the team.

This allowed the customer to reliably measure and improve the security posture of its flagship mobile payment app.
