Web applications are extremely common types of software used by every digitally enabled business. However, due to the speed of development and general complexity, web app security is a unique challenge.
Our web application penetration test is a proactive ethical hacking assessment that evaluates how your website and its key features would stand up to a real world cyber attack. We will act like a real attacker, simulating their techniques, thinking, and methodologies to find and exploit your vulnerabilities to assess the effectiveness of the current security controls you have in place. Our goal is to help you find and prioritise the remediation of your security flaws before they are discovered for real and exploited by a genuine attacker.
The benefits to you of web application penetration testing
How we work with you to help achieve your goals
We get into the fine details of your web app infrastructure
Our web application penetration test blends authenticated, unauthenticated, and API testing against the latest threat vectors outlined in industry standards such as the OWASP Top 10 to create the most comprehensive testing framework possible.
Provide white-box testing ahead of a penetration test
Our specialist infrastructure engineers can perform a detailed white-box test of the configuration, setup, and architecture of assets in front of your web app, such as firewalls and delivery controllers / load balancers ahead of the actual penetration test on the web app. This is highly advantageous because you will be getting the best of both worlds; a clear picture of the wider environment the web app resides in, as well as the test on the application itself.
Delivery from web application security experts
Our experts use a combination of manual and automated tooling for reconnaissance and intelligence gathering on the attack surface of the web application, before proceeding to probe for vulnerabilities to target in our simulated attacks. The web applications’ design, configuration set up, and source code will all be forensically scrutinised.
We outline the security priorities and how to fix them
The fact is that for an expert in web application security, most vulnerabilities are of low risk, easily identified, and quickly fixed. If we find a severe vulnerability, rest assured this will be highlighted immediately as a priority and you will have our recommendations for remediation as soon as possible.
Just as a skilled tailor crafts each garment to perfectly suit their clients requirements and preferences, our approach to web application penetration testing is similarly bespoke. We understand that you will have unique needs and objectives, and will never force you into a mould that doesn’t align. Instead, we meticulously tailor each engagement to cater specifically to your situation and budget.
