Thick Client Application VAPT

What is thick client application vulnerability assessment & penetration testing (VAPT)?

Thick client applications are the applications that run directly on a user's device, like desktop software. Thick client penetration testing is an assessment process aimed at evaluating the security of a desktop application by identifying vulnerabilities, testing authentication mechanisms, assessing data encryption, addressing security misconfigurations, and examining network communication to ensure the robustness and integrity of thick client software.
