Authenticated penetration testing for Banking
Authenticated penetration testing for banking. Banks operate under Central Bank of Azerbaijan supervision and banking-secrecy rules, so customer data cannot go to foreign clouds.
Secure, On-Premise Penetration Testing for the Banking Sector
Designed for financial institutions operating under the Central Bank of Azerbaijan's supervision, our authenticated penetration testing solution ensures strict adherence to banking-secrecy rules. By deploying entirely on your own infrastructure, we eliminate the risk of customer data leaving your environment for foreign clouds, providing a secure way to identify vulnerabilities in enterprise web applications and APIs without external SaaS dependencies. As one of the three core engines of the Argus self-hosted AI testing platform, this solution integrates seamlessly with QA and AI engines under a single console and sign-in. By sharing an encrypted credential store and unified model settings, the system provides a cohesive security layer that focuses on the authenticated surface of your applications, ensuring that security testing is as comprehensive as it is compliant.
Solving Banking Security Challenges
Full compliance with data residency and banking-secrecy obligations via a completely self-hosted deployment.
Elimination of 'false clean' reports by ensuring scans penetrate the authentication wall rather than stopping at the login page.
Reduced audit friction with detailed, severity-based HTML and JSON reports providing concrete evidence for regulatory compliance.
High-fidelity vulnerability detection that mimics real logged-in user behavior using session cookies and bearer tokens.
Secure, centralized credential management through an encrypted store shared across the entire platform.
Increased reporting accuracy through a rigorous quarantine process that excludes non-reproducible findings from severity totals.
Enterprise-Grade Security Capabilities
Authenticated Dynamic Scanning
Unlike generic scanners, our system uses a scripted login to obtain session cookies and bearer tokens, allowing the scanner to operate as a real user and reach the authenticated surface of your applications.
Self-Hosted Architecture
The platform is deployed on your own infrastructure. Scan data, credentials, and reports stay internal, removing all external SaaS dependencies.
Synthesized API Discovery
Endpoints discovered during the login and crawl process seed a synthesized API specification, ensuring the scan tests the actual functional surface rather than stopping at the login page.
AI-Driven Payload Generation
The integrated model is used specifically for payload generation and finding triage, operating on a text-in, text-out basis without vision capabilities.
Strict Target Control
Scans are executed only against an explicit allow-list of approved targets, ensuring no unauthorized endpoints are touched.
The Testing Workflow
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this solution handle banking-secrecy and data residency?
The platform is entirely self-hosted. All scan data, credentials, and reports remain on your own infrastructure, ensuring no customer data is sent to foreign clouds or external SaaS providers.
What happens if the scanner cannot bypass the login page?
A scan that cannot authenticate is marked as an environment failure or 'inconclusive' rather than being reported as 'clean.' This prevents the common error where a scanner misreads a repeated login error as a lack of vulnerabilities.
How are false positives managed in the reports?
Every finding is re-checked against the live target. If a finding cannot be stood up—due to the endpoint being unreachable, a uniform response, or lack of evidence—it is quarantined and excluded from severity totals.
Can the scanning engine be updated without disrupting the platform?
Yes, the scanner utilizes the Deep Eye open-source engine driven through a CLI contract. This architecture allows the engine to be upgraded or replaced without touching the core platform.
How is AI utilized within the scanning process?
The AI model is used strictly for payload generation and finding triage. It operates on a text-in, text-out basis and does not utilize vision capabilities.
