Web Application Pentesting Approach

Internal Web Application Pentest

From within the organization, we meticulously dissect web application infrastructures. Delving deep into codebases, we ensure comprehensive protection from internal adversaries.

Our internal assessment prioritizes potential weak spots that might be exploited from inside, ensuring the backbone of your web application remains robust and unyielding.

About internal web app pentesting by WebSec:

Evaluates vulnerabilities from the perspective of an internal attacker

Allows for a Larger Scope to Be Tested

Diminishes the Need for VPN or IP Whitelisting

Direct In-Person Engagement between Security Expert and Client

External Web Application Pentest

Targeting the interface that the world sees, we assess your application's resistance to external threats. From the vast expanse of the internet, we mimic potential adversaries.

Each public-facing component undergoes rigorous testing, solidifying its defense against a myriad of external cyber threats and potential breach attempts.

Evaluates vulnerabilities from the perspective of an external attacker

Can be more budget-friendly as it allows for outsourcing and does not necessitatea constant team

Typically conducted periodically with proper planning

Realistic Attack Simulation for External Threats

Web Application Pentesting Types

Black box pentest

aka close box penetration testing

  • Mimic a true cyber attack. Most realistic.
  • Zero access or internal information.
  • Time consuming and more likely to miss a vulnerability.
black box illustration

White box pentest

Combination of black and white box testing

  • Assess an organization's vulnerability to insider threats. Some internal access and internal information.
  • More efficient than black-box and saves on time and money. No real cons for this type of testing.

White box pentest

aka close box penetration testing

  • Simulate an attack where an attacker gains access to a privileged account. Complete open access to applications and systems
  • More comprehensive, less likely to miss a vulnerability and faster. More data is required to be released to the tester and more expensive

Web Application Pentesting Process

1

Gathering information

We commence by meticulously collecting vital information regarding your web application's architecture, going through server details and functionalities, establishing a strong foundation for the upcoming penetration testing process.

2

Threat modeling

In this phase, we craft detailed threat models to identify and visualize potential attack paths, aiming to architect a defense strategy that safeguards your essential assets and fortifies against cyber threats.

3

Vulnerability analysis

Next, we employ sophisticated tools to conduct a thorough vulnerability analysis of your application, offering a panoramic view of your security landscape to discern and catalogue potential points of weakness.

4

Exploitation

Here, we undertake real-world attack simulations in a secure environment, leveraging identified vulnerabilities to gauge the possible extent of damage and depth of unauthorized access to your system.

5

Post exploitation

Following exploitation, we concentrate on safeguarding the compromised channels and restoring system security, with a directed focus on averting future breaches and reinforcing your application's resilience.

6

Reporting

Concluding our service, we furnish a detailed report encapsulating the vulnerabilities detected, along with informed recommendations to bolster your web application's security infrastructure moving forward.

84%High Prevalence of Web Vulnerabilities

According to a report by Positive Technologies, 84% of web applications tested in 2020 contained high-risk vulnerabilities. Ensuring that your application is not part of this statistic is essential in maintaining a secure digital presence.

$4.24 MData Breaches Costs

The 2021 Cost of a Data Breach Report by IBM disclosed that the average total cost of a data breach amounts to $4.24 million, an all-time high. Protect your business from crippling financial consequences by identifying and rectifying vulnerabilities through our pentesting services.

35%XSS and Injection Attacks

Veracode's State of Software Security Vol. 11 report stated that approximately 35% of all applications are susceptible to injection attacks, including SQL Injection, showcasing the prevalent risk of sensitive data exposure and the necessity for robust pentesting services.
