Web Application Pentesting

Web applications are omnipresent at every company and when not looked after, they can turn into an opportunity for threat actors to penetrate into your organization leading to disastrous consequences. Web application penetration testing services allow you to identify and remediate (critical) vulnerabilities before they can be exploited, providing your organisation with crucial protection against cyber attack. 

The Importance of Web Application Pentesting

The growing complexity and widespread use of web applications has continued to increase the risk of vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit. Ensuring the security of your web applications is crucial to protect sensitive data, maintain business continuity, and comply with regulatory requirements.

  • Proactive Risk Management: By identifying and addressing vulnerabilities early, you can reduce the risk of security breaches and protect your web applications from potential damage.
  • Improved Security Posture: Our web application security services help you enhance the overall security of your applications and supporting infrastructure.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring your web applications meet industry standards and regulatory requirements is essential. Our services help you achieve and maintain compliance.
  • Enhanced Trust and Confidence: Demonstrating a commitment to web application security can build trust with your customers, partners, and stakeholders

Our Approach

Pretera’s Web Application Penetration Testing services are designed to provide thorough security assessments of your web applications aiming to identify and help mitigate the vulnerabilities associated with your web applications. Our team combines manual and automated penetration testing processes, using a different security testing tool. We base our testing on the issues listed in the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) which are industry recognised guidelines for web application security. We apply thorough analysis of your context and apply the same techniques as actual threat actors would do, seeking to exploit any vulnerability.
