Securing Public Spaces with Eaglebe | Merkator Case Study
Merkator, a leader in geospatial software, data and services, offers innovative solutions for local governments and police forces. Their flagship application, Eaglebe, streamlines permit management, event coordination, and law enforcement functionalities. Given the sensitivity of data handled by Eaglebe, Merkator sought the highest level of security – Enter Cyrex.
Challenge
Merkator contacted Cyrex to conduct a thorough penetration test for Eaglebe to identify and address potential security vulnerabilities. Public spaces are vital for communities, and ensuring their safety is a top priority. However, Eaglebe, like any web application, is susceptible to cyberattacks that could disrupt operations and compromise sensitive data.
Solution
Our gold standard security engineers conducted a comprehensive penetration test on Eaglebe, following three key phases:
- Passive Phase: Our team performed reconnaissance as they dive into understanding the application’s architecture, programming languages, and functionalities.
- Active Phase: A deep dive with a full, manual penetration test based on reconnaissance findings.
- Reporting: At the conclusion our team sets about delivering extensive reports on all system vulnerabilities, from small insertion points to major security issues. We provide best practice solutions and outlined potential risks.
Results
The penetration testing engagement identified several vulnerabilities in Eaglebe that could have been exploited to gain unauthorised access, steal data, or disrupt operations. Cyrex worked closely with the Merkator team to remediate these vulnerabilities, providing detailed reports and step-by-step remediation instructions.
