Web Application Security Testing

Ethical hacking in real time, using advanced testing techniques is the only way to know that you have secure software.

Protect Your Web Applications

People come to us when they need their web applications to stay online and out of the hands of malicious threat actors. Web application security testing is conducted by SMEs that have attained both the GIAC Web Application Penetration Tester (GWAPT) and Offensive Security Web Expert (OSWE) certifications.

The problem is, web applications typically have input parameters (entry points) with values that are controlled client-side and are built using (vulnerable) third-party software. SQL injection and especially cross-site scripting (XSS) are still running rampant on web apps.

Web applications are currently the most common way for malicious adversaries to breach organizations, second only to social engineering attacks. Since you are reading this, you likely already know that having Ethical Hackers find your web application security vulnerabilities is the first step in the remediation process thereby helping to reduce risk. We work with your team utilizing a purple team approach to get the biggest bang for your buck. However, we can (and often do) also perform black box testing if you so desire.

Proactive Assessment

Performing in-depth manual testing (plus a few scans) for cybersecurity vulnerabilities, is essential to the successful operation of any business. What’s more, as cyber attackers increasingly focus their attention on web applications, they are able to refine their methods and increase the sophistication of their exploits. Breaches happen even when (and perhaps especially when) you’re confident that you’ve been following best practices to protect your company against these types of attacks. Your standard reactive security just isn’t sufficient anymore and dealing with a data breach due to a web vulnerability is no fun. Secure software development is only feasible with the integration of ethical hacking. “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” – Benjamin Franklin

That’s where security testing comes in. With expert services from a team like The PenTesting Company (“TPC”), you’re able to strengthen your security posture and put a stop to security breaches before they happen. We’ll run comprehensive diagnostics to see where we could improve your security and how you can keep cybercriminals at bay. Knowing how to properly combine tools with open source security frameworks (i.e. OWASP), means no false positives.

All you need to do is reach out to our team to get started. From there, we’ll provide you with a lasting application security testing service that keeps you protected for years to come.

Well-Rounded Web Application Security Tests

There’s no one right way to handle web application security testing (however, there are some wrong ways), and that’s why we implement a multitude of strategies for protecting your company’s virtual assets. Threat modeling and information gathering enable our team to comprehensively test and protect your web application.

Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)

The dynamic application security testing method involves searching for and identifying exploitable vulnerabilities in a web application that an adversary could try to take advantage of. During testing, we look for areas in your system that adversaries could target and subsequently breach from the outside and in some cases the inside (i.e., compromised accounts and insider threats). DAST tools don’t need access to the application’s source code, meaning that we can perform DAST frequently and quickly.

Static Application Security Testing (SAST)

Static Application Security Testing works a little differently from DAST. SAST dives into the source code of the web application and provides security testing from within the application. With SAST, you get a snapshot of the web application’s systems and security set up.

Human-Run Penetration Testing

Our third method for testing is something called application penetration testing and is a component of DAST that incorporates a human element into security tests. In this situation, one of our SMEs will run a mock attack on a web app, using their extensive knowledge and experience as well as a wide range of testing tools. From there, he or she will be able to identify potential areas that a hacker could exploit.

Timeline for Vulnerability Assessment

Day One
Days One - Five
Penetration Testing
Finally! Penetration testing is in full swing.

Now your assigned PenTester(s) are working through all OWASP categories, starting with mapping the application architecture, identifying entry points, and looking for information leakage to use throughout the vulnerability assessment.
Final Day of Testing

Report Writing

Once active testing has concluded, we will move into the validation, documentation, analysis, and report writing phase.

Final Day of Testing
Completion of Vulnerability Assessment
Report Delivery
The report writing is now finished (passed QA review) and delivered via encrypted email.
After Delivery

Report Review

Once the report has been reviewed, an opportunity will be given for your team to ask questions.

After Delivery
