Application Security Testing
Simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment helps organizations fortify their attack surface effectively.
Infrastructure Assessments
Strengthening Your Applications
Application Security Testing service plays a vital role in fortifying your digital landscape by diligently detecting and addressing potential vulnerabilities within your applications. Our comprehensive approach extends beyond mere vulnerability scanning, recognizing that the intricate interplay of online systems demands a nuanced understanding that automated tools alone cannot replicate.
Our testing framework is a combination of human experience and tools that work best in application security methodology that helps in delving deep into the framework of your online infrastructure to identify risks & fortifying your attack surface from a runtime perspective of modern applications, back-end web services, or nodes. We prioritize the most intricate and critical components of your web applications, providing you with an insightful roadmap for remediation.
Application Security Testing Coverage
Injection Attacks
Test for injection vulnerabilities (SQL, XML, etc.) due to mishandling untrusted data. Check if input validation and sanitization prevent malicious code execution.
Authentication and Authorization
Test authentication for weak passwords, brute force, and insecure storage. Assess authorization controls to ensure proper user resource access.
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
Identify and validate input fields that could be used to inject malicious scripts. Test for both stored (persistent) and reflected (non-persistent) XSS vulnerabilities.
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
Verify if the application is vulnerable to CSRF attacks that could lead to unauthorized actions being performed on behalf of the user.
Session Management
Test session fixation, session hijacking, and session timeout vulnerabilities. Check if session tokens are properly generated, managed, and invalidated.
Sensitive Data Exposure
Identify places where sensitive information (e.g., passwords, credit card details) might be stored or transmitted insecurely. Ensure proper encryption and protection of sensitive data.
Security Misconfigurations
Assess the application's configuration settings, server settings, and database access permissions for potential security holes. Verify that default credentials and unnecessary services are disabled.
Input Validation and Output Encoding
Check if user inputs are properly validated and sanitized to prevent malicious data from being processed. Ensure that output is correctly encoded to prevent XSS attacks.
Error Handling and Logging
Test how the application handles errors and whether detailed error messages are exposed to attackers. Review logging mechanisms to detect potential information leakage or log forging.
File Uploads and Downloads
Test file upload functionality for security issues like allowing malicious file types or overwriting files. Verify that downloaded files do not contain malicious content.
API Security
Assess the security of APIs and web services, checking for issues like insecure endpoints, inadequate authentication, and data exposure.
Business Logic Vulnerabilities
Analyze the application's business logic to identify vulnerabilities like unauthorized access to functionalities or data.
Third-Party Components
Evaluate the security of third-party libraries and components used in the application to ensure they are up-to-date and free from known vulnerabilities.
Denial of Service (DoS)
Test the application's resilience to DoS attacks that could lead to service disruption and also more specific assets as per scope requirements.
Evaluting Application Security
Our application security testing enhances resilience against threats. we employ automated tools and also practice manual processes to verify source code vulnerabilities and application behavior during runtime for issues related to memory, authentication and SQL injections through URL query strings. Our insightful reports for remediation encompasses a detailed review of open source dependencies, proprietary code, runtime vulnerabilities and API's
Key Benefits of Application Security
Our Application security coverage is extensive, encompassing a wide array of potential threats, including the widely acknowledged benchmarks such as OWASP Top 10 attacks, including a subset of the OWASP API Top 10 and the SANS Top 25 vulnerabilities. When we undertake a penetration test on a web application, we bring together an unparalleled testing experience, gained through real world senarios and continuous exploration of the threat landscape.
Risk Mitigation
Application security testing helps identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in software applications before they can be exploited by malicious actors. By proactively addressing these vulnerabilities, customers can significantly reduce the risk of data breaches, cyberattacks, and other security incidents.
Protecting User Data
Customers can ensure the safety of sensitive user data, such as personal information and financial details, by conducting thorough security testing. This protects both the customers and their users from potential data breaches, helping to build trust and maintain a positive reputation.
Regulatory Compliance
Many industries are subject to strict data protection regulations and compliance standards. Application security testing assists customers in meeting these requirements by identifying and addressing security flaws that could lead to non-compliance issues, legal penalties, and reputational damage.
Cost Savings
Detecting and resolving security vulnerabilities early in the software development lifecycle is more cost-effective than dealing with breaches after they occur. Customers can save significant financial resources by avoiding the expenses associated with data breaches, incident response, and potential lawsuits.
Enhanced Reputation
A strong commitment to application security enhances a customer's reputation and credibility. By providing secure software and protecting user data, customers can differentiate themselves from competitors and attract users who prioritize safety and privacy.
