Cybersecurity Evaluations

With an ever-increasing range of connected devices and services in our homes, cities and in industrial and infrastructure settings, cybersecurity has never been so important. From payment systems to IoT and connected vehicles, our team of experts is experienced in providing evaluation, testing and certification services to help ensure that devices work together with robust security.

Evaluation Approach

Applus+ is a security laboratory accredited to carry out a wide range of security evaluations for security, payment and identification schemes. We also provide cybersecurity assessment and training services to help our customers identify their needs from the very beginning of product development.

Independent Security Evaluations

Black Box

The cybersecurity experts team has no knowledge or access to internal information about the target of evaluation.

Grey Box

The cybersecurity experts team has partial information about the target of evaluation.

White Box

The cybersecurity experts team has all the internal information about the target of evaluation.

Code Review

The cybersecurity experts team audit the source to verify that the proper security controls are present and that they work as intended. Code review is a way of ensuring that the application has been developed so as to be “self-defending” in its given environment.

Evaluation for a Certification Scheme

We are an accredited laboratory to conduct security evaluations under the following certification schemes:

 

Penetration Testing Techniques

Applus+ has many years of experience doing security evaluations and carrying out penetration tests on all kind of TOEs. Penetration testing gives the perfect simulation of a real attack where the cybersecurity experts team try to infringe the security of the assets and check the vulnerabilities of the product.

Note: Because Applus+ Laboratories is accredited as a third-party laboratory by several evaluation and certification schemes, and in order to guarantee its impartiality, Applus+ engineers are never involved in actual product development or solutions implementation. Our independent evaluations are not accredited and their aim is to provide evaluation results to vendors who are seeking to understand the level of security of their products, despite no certification scheme is available yet.
