What is Web Application Penetration Testing?
Web application penetration testing is the security assessment of a web application, website or web API by a trusted and experienced security consultant. A web application penetration test will highlight vulnerabilities within your web application that could potentially be exploited by a real world adversary.
How Can Your Business Benefit From Web Application Penetration Testing?
Web applications are the most popular and widely used pieces of software in the modern day. They can be used to: host critical assets, advertise services or to process extremely sensitive data. As a result of their variances, they present a difficult and unique challenge to securely build and maintain.
