Keep your Web Application’s Secure with WAPT
Web application penetration testing is an integral part of assessing applications for potential security threats. Companies rely on customer-facing web applications to hold sensitive information and permit people to perform sensitive tasks. To avoid security problems, some organizations rely on vulnerability scans that are limited in their ability to identify potential threats. While vulnerability scanning certainly has its place in a secure development life-cycle, it leaves much to be desired in an in-depth security assessment.
Cyber
Security Hive provides the best Web Application Penetration Testing Services in India.
It takes security testing several steps further with dedicated web app
penetration testing, which helps identify threats or gaps in the application
that could be vulnerable to cyber-attacks.
What Is Web Application Penetration Testing?
Web
application penetration testing is a standard security technique used on web
apps as part of a healthy, secure development process. This method involves
simulating attacks against web applications to gain access to sensitive
information or take charge of the application's supporting infrastructure.
Unlike
automated vulnerability scanning, which is usually integrated as a part of a
development pipeline, pentesting is done by professionals who understand the
methods real attackers use. Best practices for pentesting include:
- PTF (Penetration Testing
Framework)
- OSSTM (Open-Source Security
Testing Methodology Manual)
- ISSAF (Information Systems
Security Assessment Framework)
- PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry
Data Security Standard)
- OWASP (Open Web Application
Security Project)
How Do You Test for Web Application Security?
Listed
among the best Web application penetration testing companies in India,
Cyber Security Hive follows these stages in pen-testing.
Planning
The
planning stage allows you to consider what types of testing will be used, how
they will be performed, and what the tester needs. Planning is where you can
define the scope and outline the availability of all documentation and other
resources for testers involved in the process. You will also need to take the
time to determine the success criteria.
Attacks/Execution
In this stage, testers perform the augmented "attacks" on the system and try to penetrate the security in various ways. Execution is done using several different tools and in-depth manual testing that will allow testers to simulate various attacks and hacks to see if they can get into your system. The more thorough a tester is here, the better.
Post Execution and Reporting Phase
Reporting
is the final phase after the attacks and permits the team to assess what
happened and how the test went. The tester creates a report of your
application's risk level and thoroughly describes all of the pen-test findings.
Why You Need Penetration Testing for Your Web Application
Penetration
testing will ensure that your application is protected from potential threats.
It also ensures that your password and password policies are secure and that
your application can hold up to whatever hackers bring your way. Pen-testing
allows you to spend less time stressing about security and concentrate on
running your business.
