What we do
Why Web Application Penetration Testing Matters
“We help our clients reimagine, restructure and renew business functions to create agile and resilient organizations.”
The Rise of Web-Based Threats
With web applications essential for user engagement and business operations, they are increasingly targeted by cyber threats. Attackers exploit application vulnerabilities to access sensitive data or disrupt services.
Supporting Compliance and Data Security
Many web applications handle sensitive data, requiring regular security testing to comply with regulations like OWASP and PCI DSS, safeguarding data and maintaining user trust.
Uncovering Hidden Security Gaps
Penetration testing reveals vulnerabilities that may not be visible during regular development, from injection flaws to access control weaknesses, protecting your application before attackers strike.
Addressing High-Impact Vulnerabilities
Studies reveal that over 50% of data breaches are linked to web application vulnerabilities. Proactive testing mitigates these risks, securing your application and supporting a resilient online presence.
Our
Approach
Our penetration testing follows recognized industry standards, such as OWASP Top 10 and SANS CWE, ensuring comprehensive security coverage. Our approach includes:
01
Pre-Engagement Planning
We start by defining the assessment scope, understanding application-specific needs, and establishing clear communication to ensure smooth execution.
02
Reconnaissance and Information Gathering
Our experts collect critical data about your application’s architecture, technology, and dependencies, setting the stage for a focused testing strategy.
03
Threat Modeling and Vulnerability Identification
Using advanced tools and manual testing, we identify security gaps like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and authentication vulnerabilities that attackers might exploit.
04
Exploitation and Impact Analysis
To evaluate real-world risks, we perform controlled exploits, providing insight into the potential impact of each vulnerability on your business and users.
