Application Penetration Testing

Web applications are at the forefront of businesses to engage with their audiences, as such, applications are crucial for ecommerce, brand reputation and much more.

Our application security testing rigorously examines applications for security vulnerabilities and looks to evaluate application security when performing a manual penetration test to simulated real-world attacks against your business applications.

With the primary objective to identify and exploit vulnerabilities that could be leveraged by attacks and provide insights into your application security posture to improve your defences.

Provides

Focused vulnerability identification that looks to show key attack paths that attackers may look to utilise to gain a foothold on the network.

Realistic Exploitation of vulnerabilities and exposures identified within your infrastructure.

Transparent testing working alongside stakeholders and security teams enables insight into vulnerabilities identified and inform on remediation actions.

Types

We provide the following types of infrastructure penetration assessments:

  • Web Application Security Testing
  • API Security Testing

Testing Phases

Reconnaissance

Passive and active information gathering about the target organisation to identify potential entry points.

Content Discovery

Conduct systematic scans to discover open ports, services, and directory/file brute forcing. Extract detailed information about the identified services and resources.

Vulnerability Analysis

Assess vulnerabilities in the target systems and application to determine potential exploits.

Exploitation

Actively attempt to exploit identified vulnerabilities. Assess the impact of successful exploits and evaluate further opportunities such as privilege escalation.

Reporting

Document findings, including vulnerabilities, risks, and recommended mitigation.

Debrief

Review findings with the client, providing insights and recommendations for improving security posture.

Benefits

Proactive Security Stance. Penetration testing enables business to adopt a proactive rather than reactive approach to security. By identifying and addressing vulnerabilities before they can be exploited, significantly reducing the likelihood of a successful attack.

Protecting Reputation and Customer Trust. A successful cyber attack can not only result in financial losses but also damage an business reputation and erode customer trust. Regular penetration testing helps prevent such incidents, showing a commitment to security and building confidence among customers and stakeholders.

Continuous Improvement. Threats evolve rapidly, and so should cybersecurity measures. Regular penetration testing allows businesses to adapt and improve their security strategies based on the latest threat landscape, ensuring that your business remains resilient against emerging risks.
