Just think of challenging your system by running it through its paces in an attempt to find out how well its design can handle a crowd. Performance testing in cyber security does this, but instead of a crowd, it throws dummy cyberattacks to test if the system collapses due to pressure.

Think about taking your car engine to its limits to see how well it will perform on a racetrack. Performance testing in the cybersecurity domain functions in a similar way. It imitates traffic fluctuations and cyber threats on your network, which stresses the systems to identify potential vulnerabilities before they compromise security. This is a proactive approach that will guarantee that your applications remain always responsive and stable even when they are in heavy use.
Glitz Technology can be your expert pit crew for performance testing. Our security specialists will then come up with specific tests depending on your various systems. We will analyze where your applications are processor-bound or where there could be dangerous issues that hackers will search for. Regardless of your specific needs, Glitz Technology will help guarantee the reliability of your systems so your data remains safe and your operations uninterrupted.
Performance testing is not only about how fast the application is. Here's how it strengthens your cyber defences:
Performance testing applies load and only checks how your systems behave under pressure, emulating certain attacks. This exposes areas that might only emerge when under pressure.
Much like traffic, if there are bottlenecks in your systems, they can cause miscommunication and provide opportunities for an enemy. Performance testing makes them uncover these bottlenecks so that you can address them before the attackers do so.
Performance testing enables you to determine how your systems can respond to a higher number of users. This insulates your defences and guarantees that they are adequately prepared in the event of an attack or a surge in activity.
Performance testing has several benefits that extend beyond the simple requirements of fast loading speeds. Here's how it bolsters your cyber security posture:
Imitates real-life attack patterns to reveal risks that might not be visible during normal operations.
Identifies specific locations in your system that perform poorly during testing and might open up vulnerabilities that can be exploited by an attacker.
Not only are users satisfied with fast and responsive systems, but they also tend not to be as likely to be tricked into clicking a link or falling for a phishing scam.
Allows you to test the limits of your systems with increased numbers of users or specific attack vectors, while still maintaining functionality and security.
Useful data to get the ideal resource supply to guarantee the proper execution of crucial security functions.
Identify and solve performance problems before they cause system failures or allow unauthorized access to sensitive information.
