For businesses, web applications are at the root of their success. Apps offer a convenient interface with the customers and the world. But that exactly makes them vulnerable to cybercrime where sensitive personal and financial information is under attack. However, these vulnerabilities can be identified through Web Application Penetration Testing and can be subsequently corrected.
We have a team of CISSP, CISA, OSCP, CEH, CHFI Certified web app testing professionals who have an incredible amount of experience. They can identify the weaknesses in the web app and website security and can suggest ways to overcome the risks.
Web app security testing is among the top priorities of a business or company because web apps are consistently on the radar of attackers. Here are some of the reasons why it is so: Web apps are continuously exposed to the internet. Attackers can easily target them by deploying gadgets such as SQL that target fundamental vulnerabilities.
Web apps not focusing on standards can leave the scope for attackers to target. For example, the working framework layers of the system and host may have inadequacies. There could be coding and structure mistakes due to the short improvement cycle. This can happen when there is a greater focus on making the app live than working on the security aspects. Vulnerabilities creep in a web app when codes are obtained from a variety of sources such as in-house, open-source, untouchable libraries, and re-appropriated codes. Some of these fragments may contain weaknesses.
Web 2.0 innovations offer a greater attack surface by joining diverse reasoning from the client-side, for example, JavaScript (AJAX) and Adobe Flash.
1. Preventing Information Loss – Can you imagine your crucial business data is hacked and it’s with your competitor or any unwanted hands? Sensitive information of your business if more important, and it should be highly secured.
2. Preventing Financial Loss- Similar to information loss there is direct chances of fraud (hackers, extortionists and disgruntled employees) or loss in revenue due to unreliable business systems and processes.
3. Protects Your Brand in Market- Providing due diligence and compliance to your industry regulators, customers and shareholders. Non-compliance can result in your organization losing business, receiving heavy fines, gathering bad PR or ultimately failing. Protecting your brand by avoiding loss of consumer confidence and business reputation.
4. Essential part of compliance standards for your business- Vulnerability testing helps shape information security strategy through identifying vulnerabilities and quantifying their impact and likelihood so that they can be managed proactively; budget can be allocated and corrective measures implemented.
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
Before an application assessment can take place, Cybertryzub defines a clear scope of the client. Open communication between Cybertryzub and the client organization is encouraged at this stage to establish a comfortable foundation from which to assess.
Cybertryzub engineers collect as much information as they can on the target, employing a myriad of OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) tools and techniques. The assembled information will assist us with understanding the working states of the association, which permits us to evaluate the risk precisely as the engagement progresses.
At this stage, we consolidate computerized contents and instruments, among different strategies in further developed data gathering. Cybertryzub experts closely inspect any conceivable assault vectors. The accumulated data from this stage will be on the basis for exploitation in the upcoming stage.
In this step, we initiate both manual & automated security scan to find all possible attack vectors & vulnerabilities. After this, we run exploits on the application to evaluate its security. We use different methods and open-source scripts and in-house tools to gain a high degree of penetration. All these are done cautiously to secure your application and its information
This is the final stage of the whole assessment process. In this stage, the Cybertryzub analysts aggregate all obtained information and provide the client with a thorough, comprehensive detailing of our findings. The entire report will contain a high-level analysis of all the risks along with the final report will highlight all the weaknesses and strengths present in the application.
Once the process is completed our team will discuss the report and find the appropriate solutions for the bugs located. After that, a comprehensive discussion will be carried out to fix these vulnerabilities . We will ensure that the changes were implemented properly and all the vulnerabilities have been fixed. The team will provide detailed closure or remediation report which reflects the more secure state of the application.
