Summary
Penetration testing identifies weaknesses and vulnerabilities in the ISC AWS (Cloud) and on-premise production environments used to provide the integrity programs for the Integrity Systems Company (ISC).
Penetration testing is important for ISC and the Australian red meat industry as it protects the sensitive data that ISC manages regarding animal identification, traceability, sustainability, integrity, biosecurity and animal welfare.
This project tested the Integrity Systems applications, to ensure that the infrastructure design is robust and not vulnerable to external attacks by malicious third parties.
Key findings
Few areas in the software code were identified as potential candidates for exploitation by hackers.
The ISC development team addressed all the findings and fixes were deployed in the production systems to ensure there were no weaknesses in the system that could be exploited by hackers.
Benefits to industry
The project aligns with the technology roadmap and pillar 1 of the IS2025 Strategy: ensuring our integrity system continues to deliver.
