Web Services can provide direct access for hackers to critical business data. A Penetration Test hardens your API and prevents its use as an attack vector against your organisation.

The purpose of this test is to demonstrate the ways attackers can compromise a web service and gain access to an organisation’s virtual assets.
1. Defining and classifying network or system resources
2. Assigning relative levels of importance to the resources
3. Identifying potential threats to each resource
4. Developing a strategy to deal with the most serious potential problems first
5. Defining and implementing ways to minimize the consequences if an attack occurs
