Benefits of Web Application Penetration Testing

 

The penetration testing team at CyberCX has unrivalled breadth and depth of experience. Our testers are certified and highly experienced, ensuring our approach aligns with industry-best practice, avoids system disruption and protects the integrity of your data.

Actionable remediations

You will receive detailed reports into any detected vulnerabilities. These will be appropriately categorised so you can rapidly identify which security gaps are most critical. You will also receive recommended remediations, so immediate steps can be taken to bolster the application’s security.

Reduce risk

Web application breaches are common. Regular testing will reduce your organisation’s risk exposure. Testing new web applications before launch, or existing applications that are being upgraded, is a proven activity that reduces the risk of potentially costly breaches.

Maintain compliance

Web application penetration testing is seen as an essential security activity by many national and international cyber security standards. Regular testing will help your organisation achieve, prove and maintain compliance with a range of standards such as PCI-DSS and ISO 27001.

Achieve greater awareness

Testing ensures you gain accurate awareness over the security of your web applications and the extent to which they may be vulnerable to exploitation.

Enhance reputation

Independent testing provides confidence to customers and commercial partners that your organisation prioritises the integrity of your data and digital assets, resulting in enhanced brand reputation.

What is Web Application Penetration Testing?

 

Web application penetration testing is a proven security activity that seeks to detect and exploit security gaps in your organisation’s applications.

Our team of experienced testers aims to identify vulnerabilities related to functionality, implementation, authentication, security configuration and data protection mechanisms.

As an authorised hacking attempt, we adopt tactics commonly used to determine the extent to which your web applications are secured. We examine both open source and custom-built applications using a combination of the latest scanning tools and manual testing techniques.

With a web application penetration test, you will receive detailed reports of any identified vulnerabilities, prioritised by criticality, along with recommended remediations. This allows organisations to take the necessary steps to enhance their web application security to better protect your organisation from a range of cyber threats.
