  • Application Security Testing
An easy target for hackers today

WEB & MOBILE APPLICATION SECURITY TESTING SERVICES

Web application attacks pose one of the greatest risks to an organisation.

Despite this, most security budgets are typically spent elsewhere on either securing or monitoring the perimeter and endpoints. As a result, the bad guys have found it easier to sneak in through vulnerabilities in web applications.

Modern organisations deploy a plethora of web applications, ranging from external-facing corporate websites, customer portals, shopping carts, and login pages to internal-facing HR portals. Accessible from any location, web applications today are an easy target for hackers, who can exploit vulnerabilities within these business-critical applications and gain access to back-end corporate databases.

Don’t Become Another Statistic

26%

According to recent research from Verizon, web application attacks are involved in 26% of all breaches

500%

In a recent report conducted by Radware, in Q1 2023 the number of malicious web application transactions increased by 500%

Utilising a combined Approach

INTERACTIVE APPLICATION SECURITY TESTING (ISAT)

Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) tests an application for security vulnerabilities in its running state, such as Cross-site Scripting (XSS), that could subject the enterprise to attack.

Static Application Security Testing (SAST) analyses the code with the aim of identifying vulnerabilities before launch, to result in more secure and reliable applications. Gartner argues that the target should be a combination of both:

Next-generation modern web and mobile applications require a combination of SAST and DAST techniques. Interactive application security testing approaches have emerged that combine static and dynamic techniques to improve testing.

IAST Benefits

  • Allows for earlier, less costly fixes within the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
  • Provides accurate results for fast triage
  • Pinpoints the exact source of any vulnerabilities 
  • Integrates easily into continuous integration (CI) and continuous development (CD) tools
