Why is software security testing important?
VPN Rice is a leading online security company. To maintain a high level of security, we regularly work with independent auditors to test and verify our security claims. Over the years, we have conducted more than ten independent security audits, including testing all applications, Aircove routers, privacy policies and many other aspects. These audits are an important part of our rigorous internal audit process to ensure that we maintain industry-leading security standards.

What makes our security testing process special? At VPN Rice, we pursue a carefully developed, carefully crafted workflow system that aims to identify and remediate vulnerabilities at multiple stages in the software development process, while simultaneously while ensuring the quality of our inspections.
1. Internal audit
As the first step in our workflow, before we start writing any code, our security team plays a key role in design reviews. We conduct a thorough review of the high-level design of the software being developed. We extensively model the potential threats the product may face and identify potential security risks. We then provide specific recommendations to improve security during development. This process helps us find and fix product structural flaws and prevent potential risks before they become problems in the final product.
We continue to maintain close collaboration with our engineers throughout the development process to ensure that we understand the product thoroughly before we begin testing it. When the app was almost ready for launch, we tested it and tried to "hack" it. Our security team members, with diverse experience and knowledge in the field of security testing, test every aspect of the product across multiple platforms, including Windows, Linux, macOS clients , web application, mobile application for Android and iOS.
Our internal security testing is conducted by at least two members of the security team. They inspect the entire range daily and ensure that critical areas are thoroughly inspected. As a result, we consistently identify and resolve almost all critical vulnerabilities very early in the product development process, as evidenced by the minimal number of findings during external testing. outside of our products. We are committed to openness and transparency by sharing full reports of all external audits we have conducted over the past two years, without requiring a fee or registration.
2.External audit
Once internal testing is complete and all weaknesses have been addressed, we begin working with trusted vendors to conduct independent product security testing. We share a rich range of documentation with them to ensure they understand the product as deeply as we do, and provide access to the source code so they can conduct detailed reviews of the structure and security of the product. product.
Attesting to the effectiveness of our internal audit process, our independent partners typically report few weaknesses, and they are typically of low severity. All of this information is public and available for everyone to see when our vendors publish their reports. It's important to note that these positive outcomes are not uncommon in the industry, where multiple problems frequently arise, and they are often of higher severity.
With the efforts made, VPN Rice is confident in providing its products to those who care about security and is committed to maintaining a strong and transparent security process in the future.
