It is an integral part of business operations and must be informative, accessible and user-friendly. Just as companies have become more digitised and reliant on more complex tech tools, hackers have become more sophisticated. Malicious activities across the web are widespread, and organisations must ensure that websites and web applications are safe and secure.

Software developers need to integrate security into every software development life cycle (SDLC) step. Each stage of the process — define, design, develop, deploy and maintain — has specific security considerations that should be considered as part of the entire lifecycle.

The Need

Security testing of web applications is essential for businesses in all industries.

Security tests help identify vulnerabilities and ensure all data is safe from any unauthorised action.

WebApp

But more so for those that conduct transactions online. E-commerce-based companies, SaaS businesses and online banking providers or finance companies sit at the top of this list.

Security tests help identify vulnerabilities and ensure all data is safe from any unauthorised action. This includes sensitive customer data such as credit card numbers, credentials and personally identifiable information (PII).

Types of Web Application Tests

The three common types of web application testing

world

This is a test that looks at web apps to check for weak points that hackers can use to break into your system. Because it doesn't involve access to the application’s original source code, you can conduct it frequently.

SAST testing, on the other hand, looks for vulnerabilities in the application’s source code. It offers a more comprehensive outlook on the security posture of web applications.

Imitates a potential hacker’s actions and the steps they may take to breach the web application. Infosec personnel use their own professional experience and knowledge of software penetration tools to find security flaws in the web application.

world

SQL injection attacks are widespread because SQL language is often used to manage and direct the flow of information in applications. When used to communicate with servers that store critical website data, an SQL injection can allow hackers to change, steal or delete data. This type of attack is especially risky for websites that collect client information such as credit card numbers and login information.

CommonApp

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks are similar to SQL injection attacks, but it only runs in a user's browser when they visit a hacked website. An XSS attack aims to collect information that a user sends to the website or application. A leakage can damage a company’s reputation, and the company is often unaware there has been a breach until it’s too late.

MCSL

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) forces a user to submit a malicious request to the application. Such actions could be illicit money transfers, so your application must use validation techniques to check the identity of anyone who visits your websites and related applications.

FAQs

Please identify the answer you are seeking.

Penetration testing is a type of security testing that is used to evaluate the security of an IT infrastructure by simulating an attack from an external or internal threat. A penetration test exploits the vulnerabilities further to discover the impacts on the systems.

Types of penetration testing include black box testing, white box testing, gray box testing, application testing, network testing, web application testing, and wireless testing and plenty more. You can find more details here

The purpose of penetration testing is to identify security vulnerabilities that could be exploited by an attacker, as well as identify weaknesses in an organisation’s security policies and procedures.

Organisations should conduct penetration tests on a regular basis, typically at least once a year.

A vulnerability assessment is a tool used to identify potential risks and weaknesses in an organisation’s security posture. A penetration test is a more thorough and in-depth analysis that is used to assess the security of an organisation’s systems and networks.

In order to conduct a penetration test, you need to have a thorough understanding of network security, apps and cloud environments and know how to use security tools and techniques.

Penetration testing can uncover a variety of information, such as open ports, weak passwords, unpatched vulnerabilities, system misconfigurations, and weak authentication mechanisms.

Penetration testing can help to identify security weaknesses that could be exploited by an attacker, as well as alert organisations to potential risks and vulnerabilities.

The risks associated with penetration testing include potential damage to systems, disruption of services, and disclosure of sensitive information. The likelihood of this is less than 0.10% as it’s performed in a controlled environment.

Common tools and techniques used in penetration testing include port scanning, vulnerability scanning, social engineering, exploitation, and privilege escalation.

The cost of a penetration test will depend on the scope and complexity of the test.

The duration of a penetration test will vary depending on the scope and complexity of the test, but typically it can take anywhere from 5 days on a simple web app testing to 15 days on a more complex app with multiple user roles and financial transactions. This includes reporting.

The scope of the penetration testing report is dependent on the specific requirements of the client. It will typically include a detailed assessment of the network, systems, and applications for security vulnerabilities.

The report will include information such as the security vulnerabilities found, the steps taken to exploit them, screenshots, POCs and any recommendations for improving the security of the system. Full sample report can be found here Download

Techniques used to evaluate system weaknesses will include manual and automated methods such as port scanning, vulnerability scanning, exploitation and more.

The time frame for completing the report will depend on the size and complexity of the system, but typically it can take anywhere from 2 to 3 days.

The expected outcome of the report is to identify security vulnerabilities and provide recommendations to mitigate them.

The results of the testing will be communicated to the client in the form of a written report and a via our live dashboard.

The process for follow-up and remediation of any vulnerabilities identified in the report will involve working with the client to develop and implement a plan to address the identified issues. We have post report call or an onsite meeting as needed. This can also include management/ board presentation for free.

Sensitive data will be handled in accordance with the client’s requirements and industry best practices for security. we are ISO27001, ISO9001 in addition to being CREST and CE plus certified. We take data security and privacy seriously.

Security measures taken to protect the testing environment will include strong authentication, encryption, and other measures to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of the data.

The results of the testing will be documented in the report and any additional documentation requested by the client. We provide trend history reports, summary reports, online dashboard in addition to the usual pdf reports.
