Research Web App Vulnerability
Featuring Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, Nessus, OpenVAS, and others
Sigma Security focuses on web application security research to help secure your business platform.
Web Application Penetration Testing
Conducting thorough penetration testing simulating real-world attacks to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in your web applications. Detailed reports provide actionable insights and recommendations to improve your security posture. Types of penetration testing: Black Box, White Box, and Grey Box.
Key points about web application penetration testing
Purpose
To proactively identify security flaws in a web application before malicious actors can exploit them.
Methodology
Involves various stages like reconnaissance, scanning, vulnerability analysis, exploitation, and reporting, where testers attempt to breach the application's security controls.
Common vulnerabilities tested
- SQL injection (SQLi)
- Cross-site scripting (XSS)
- Cross-site request forgery (CSRF)
- Server-site request forgery (SSRF)
- Path traversal
- Information disclosure
- Business logic vulnerability
Testing approaches
Black-box testing: Tester has no prior knowledge of the application's code or architecture.
Grey-box testing: Tester has limited knowledge of the application's internal workings.
White-box testing: Tester has full access to the application's source code.
Benefits of web application penetration testing
Improved security posture
Helps identify and remediate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by attackers.
Risk mitigation
Provides insights into the application's security weaknesses, allowing organizations to prioritize security improvements.
Compliance with regulations
Can help organizations meet compliance requirements related to data protection.
Web Application Vulnerability Assessment
Conducting scanning and manual testing vulnerability assessments provides a comprehensive analysis of your web applications, identifying potential security flaws and prioritizing them based on risk. By using industry-leading tools and techniques to ensure accurate and reliable results.
