What is Web Application Penetration Testing and Why Is It Important For Your Business?

Untested web applications are one of the most popular targets for cyber attacks among organisations. 

Web application penetration testing works to identify the vulnerabilities in your company’s internal and external web applications and works to reduce these weak spots to stop attacks from succeeding. 

Web penetration testing is essential for all digital organisations, particularly for businesses and industries such as:

• Banks and financial institutions including online banks
• E-commerce 
• Health and science industries
• Education and technology industries
• Part or wholly cloud-based

Hackers can breach your application’s network and then proceed to exploit your data for ransom. By getting CXO Security’s experienced Penetration Testing to assess your company’s apps, you will reduce the threat of a costly breach and avoid potential financial and reputation damage.

Web Application Penetration Testing Methodology 

CXO Security’s Web Application Penetration Testing aims to identify potential flaws and insecure spots in your company’s web application. 

Our experienced team of CREST Certified Penetration Testers will collect information about the web application and through ethical hacking, attempt to breach the application to gather sensitive information. 

Our web penetration testing commences with vulnerability scanning but mostly the craft and science of manual testing. We will then analyse vulnerabilities and identify external and internal threats. Those findings are reported in priority order, with recommendations to remediate the issues found.

This information is used to safeguard your business applications to prevent a future security breach.
