Web technologies are complicated.

Many of the high visibility security breaches in the news are a result of insecure web applications. Often business requirements dictate the need for unauthenticated users to access the same application that provides the gateway for critical confidential data. Once the complexity of the technology employed is factored in, web applications provide an extremely lucrative attack surface for cybercriminals. In the Fortune 1000 world, this often results in multi-million dollar payouts for the criminals, through either ransom payments or selling data dumps.

Often, logical errors exist in authentication flow, data pathing within the application, and privilege authorization. Vulnerability scanners, fuzzers, and linters are not yet sophisticated enough to uncover these types of vulnerabilities. As such, an individualized security assessment is required.

As with our network penetration tests, you will receive an individualized report detailing your security strengths and weaknesses, as well as steps to reproduce any exploits we’ve uncovered. 

By authorizing a web application penetration test, you can proactively hedge your odds against this significant attack vector thus protecting your reputation, your customers, and your bank account.
