Web application testing

The primary goal of a web application penetration test is to discover and exploit vulnerabilities that malicious actors could leverage to gain unauthorised access, disrupt services, or compromise sensitive data.

At Cognisys, we adhere to industry standards like the OWASP Top 10 while customising our approach to fit your needs—whether a comprehensive assessment or focused testing on particular features. We uncover and address security weaknesses using automated tools/scripts and expert manual techniques to ensure your applications are well-protected.

We start by collaborating with you to define the scope of your application and pinpoint the critical areas for testing. This ensures our approach is tailored to your security goals and specific requirements, providing a focused and thorough assessment.

Our experts use cutting-edge automated tools/scripts and manual techniques to investigate your application thoroughly. To uncover potential threats, we target critical security flaws like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and business logic vulnerabilities.

We simulate realistic attack scenarios to evaluate the real-world impact of identified vulnerabilities. You will understand the potential risks and prioritise issues based on their severity, ensuring you address the most critical threats first.

Our expert team leverages a bug hunter’s mindset to explore the depths of your web application. Beyond standard vulnerability scans, we conduct in-depth testing of APIs, authentication mechanisms, session management, and other critical components.

We provide expert guidance debriefing to help you understand the identified vulnerabilities. After remediation, we offer follow-up retesting to verify that the issues are resolved and that your application is secure and resilient.

By adopting the mindset of real-world threat actors, we identify advanced vulnerabilities, especially those concealed within intricate business logic or web technologies, ensuring every potential risk is thoroughly examined.

Our expert team goes beyond basics to find hidden vulnerabilities in your web applications. We combine cutting-edge tools with deep manual testing to uncover security flaws before hackers can exploit them. This proactive approach ensures your applications are secure, your data is protected, and your business stays ahead of evolving cyber threats.
