Web Applications Penetration Testing
Web applications are the critical systems of many networks. They store, process, and transmit data. They are also vulnerable to hackers who can find vulnerabilities. So, the question becomes how secure is your network? And how comprehensively has it been tested?
When searching for vulnerabilities in websites and web apps, manual web application penetration testing is essential. Automated penetration testing tools simply can’t find every flaw – sometimes, it takes the skill and insight of the manual tester to identify complex authorisation issues or business logic flaws.
Our bespoke human-focused web-application penetration testing is based on the needs of your business.
What is Web-Application Penetration Testing?
Simply put, penetration testing involves using authorised, simulated cyber attacks on a computer system to identify weaknesses or vulnerabilities.
Process
Manual testing on its own can be quite expensive and time-consuming, taking weeks to perform a full penetration test. That’s why, when choosing technologies that can deliver state-of-the-art application security, more leading companies today turn to web app penetration testing solutions from Darkskope.
Darkskope web application penetration testing combines a proven process and highly skilled testers to achieve consistency, reduce costs and ensure customer satisfaction. Before initiating manual web application penetration testing, Darkskope scans applications with automated technologies to ensure consistent results and then uses manual testing to find flaws that automated tests can’t discover.
Outputs
Darkskope delivers detailed results that include attack simulations showing how an attacker might exploit a vulnerability in your system. Results can easily be assessed against your corporate security policy and integrated with results from other tests as required. Darkskope provides comprehensive pass/fail reporting across all test results.
Regulatory Compliance
Many regulatory and security frameworks require penetration testing. Darkskope penetration testing can help achieve compliance with PCI DSS, HIPAA and NERC CIP regulations, as well as OWASP Top 10 and SANS Top 25 frameworks.
Darkskope can also test mobile, desktop, backend and IoT applications and provide experienced consultants who can
help development teams better understand the vulnerabilities discovered by penetration testing.
