WEB APPLICATION PENETRATION TESTING
Faced with an ever-increasing number of sophisticated attacks, web application security is a major challenge. Penetration testing for Web Applications is critical to ensure the safety and security of your web applications, whether they are cloud-hosted, based on traditional 3-tier architectures, or hybrid. Utilizing a blend of sophisticated attack simulations, such test helps identify vulnerabilities and prioritize remediation efforts to mitigate cyber risks.

SECURE YOUR WEB APPLICATIONS
What is Web Application Penetration Testing?
Web Application Penetration Testing is a type of ethical hacking engagement aimed at identifying cybersecurity flaws in web applications. Due to their complexity and ubiquity, custom-designed, proprietary, and increasingly intricate web applications introduce complex and diverse security challenges to the security posture of any organization. Modern web applications handle increasingly sensitive data, so it is important to ensure that they do not introduce significant risks. At Secragon, we specialize in penetration tests that are 95% manual, designed to replicate real-world hacking, and conducted by experienced ethical hackers. Along with leveraging industry standard methodologies to ensure a thorough security assessment is conducted under safe and controlled conditions, our expert team utilizes an advanced mix of public and in-house developed exploits and in-depth analysis to discover vulnerabilities not yet published and often, not yet discovered. The objective is to penetrate target systems and provide a clear risk mitigation strategy.
We don’t just point out security holes; we help you solve them.
Ensures the safety and confidentiality of sensitive data handled by the web applications from unauthorized access or breaches.
New patches and features can also bring new vulnerabilities. It’s crucial to balance these ongoing updates with rigorous security checks.
As industries evolve, so do cybersecurity standards. Successfully meet compliance requirements as efficiently as possible (Insurance, SOC 2, PCI, ISO 27001, etc.)
Optimize security investments by focusing on critical risks, ensuring higher ROI.
Prevent brand reputation damage and financial impacts by proactively finding flaws before hackers potentially exploit them in an actual breach scenario.
Improve development methodologies to integrate security from the start, leading to more secure web apps.
Why Conduct a Web Application Penetration Test?
Web application pen testing can be highly beneficial for your business if you develop proprietary web applications in-house or use an app provided by third-party vendors. It can help to reduce the financial and reputational costs of a security weakness being uncovered in your app after it’s gone to market or has been shared with your customers.
PROTECT AGAINST THE LATEST THREATS
When Should You Perform Web Application Penetration Testing?
Penetration Testing should be performed as frequently as required by the organizational security policy. Regulatory requirements also often dictate certain applications be tested at least annually. In addition to the regular schedule, penetration testing is particularly advisable in the following circumstances:
Code Modifications
After implementing significant changes to the application’s source code, to uncover any new security vulnerabilities introduced.
Pre-Release
Before the official launch of a new or significantly updated web application, to ensure it is secure from potential threats.
Incident Recovery
Following an attack or security breach to identify how the incident occurred and to strengthen security measures.
External Components
Upon integrating third-party services or APIs, to assess the security implications of these additions on the overall application.
User Feedback or Bug Reports
Hosting Environment Update
After changes to the application’s hosting platform or infrastructure, to evaluate the impact on security configurations.

What Will be Assessed During a Web Application Penetration Test?
Web Application Penetration Testing requires a distinct and nuanced approach, focusing specifically on the unique aspects of web applications:
Security
Configuration
Assessing the web application’s security settings and infrastructure to prevent unauthorized access and breaches.
Vulnerability to Common
Attacks
Probing for susceptibilities like Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and SQL Injection is critical in safeguarding against common web attacks.
Authentication and
Authorization
Testing authentication processes, session management, and access controls for vulnerabilities against unauthorized access.
Sensitive Data
Storage and Transmission
Evaluating the security of data in transit and storage, ensuring encryption standards are robust against unauthorized access or leaks.
Application Functionality,
Technology & Data Flow
Analyzing the application’s functionality, underlying technology, and how data is processed and transferred.
And More
Including logical flaws such as broken access control, error handling, user input validation, third-party security measures, and other crucial factors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Couldn’t find the information you were looking for?
The information needed to help scope a web application security test typically includes the number and types of web applications to be tested, the number of static and dynamic pages, the number of input fields, and whether the test will be authenticated or unauthenticated (where login credentials are unknown/known).
A test can typically be scheduled within 5-10 days following a scoping call. If you need an urgent one, reach out to us immediately—we’re ready to assist. Connect with us now to secure your spot!
The cost of a web application penetration test is determined by the number of days it takes an ethical hacker to fulfill the agreed scope of the engagement.
Web application pentesting can be highly beneficial for your business if you develop proprietary web applications in-house or use an app provided by third-party vendors. It can help to reduce the financial and reputational costs of a security weakness being uncovered in your app after it’s gone to market or has been shared with your customers. While web application pen testing provides many advantages, your business may benefit from other types of security assessments. Depending on your organization’s specific requirements, other types of assessments include Mobile Application Penetration Testing, Agile pentesting, Cloud Penetration Testing, and other. A good offensive security provider should be able to advise you on the most appropriate choice of assessment for your organization.
Client data protection is our priority. We use non-destructive methods during our assessments and maintain strict confidentiality.
Vulnerability assessments identify security weaknesses, while penetration tests exploit these vulnerabilities to assess real-world attack impacts. Assessments are broader, using automated tools for detection, whereas tests are more targeted, combining tools and expert analysis to explore and demonstrate the potential for breach and damage.
