FAQ
What are cryptographic problems?
Cryptographic problems are defects in cryptographic algorithms, implementations, or protocol use that weaken protection. Common problems include weak configurations, outdated algorithms, and misuse of libraries. These issues can expose sensitive information and lead to data exposure or identity theft.
How do you avoid the risk of cryptographic failures?
Adopt cryptographic best practices and secure coding practices. Use strong encryption algorithms and secure communication protocols. It’s crucial to enforce proper key management with rotation and revocation and keep your libraries current. Don’t forget to test often to prevent cryptographic failures before release.
What does Penti test for in cryptography?
Penti inspects cipher and protocol choices for weak cipher suites and legacy protocols. Our agents check for broken cryptographic algorithms and outdated algorithms and validate entropy sources to catch insufficient entropy and padding oracle attacks. Penti examines initialization vectors, key generation, and how apps handle storing keys securely and encryption keys.
Will testing disrupt production?
No. Penti uses safe probes and guardrails. Agents validate risks without service interruption. You control scope and timing. You can run in non-production for deeper checks. Findings always include impact and reproduction steps.
What evidence do we receive for audits?
You receive client-ready reports with proof of exploit, business impact, and remediation steps. Evidence maps to policies and controls. It supports reviews that require cryptographic controls and data protection verification.
How does this testing reduce business risk?
Penti’s platform helps your team close gaps that let attackers exploit cryptographic flaws and access sensitive data. Our fixes protect financial data and other regulated records. You strengthen trust with customers and partners while improving time to compliance.
