What
is a penetration test?
A penetration test is a form of security assessment where
skilled pracitioners use real-world attack methods to test
application, system and infrastructure security.
Web
application security testing
Similar to a Penetration Test, the Web Application Security
Test represents a concentrated effort to defeat security
controls for Internet-accessible devices. Also accomplished
for internal servers, we begin web application testing with
automatic tools to determine the web infrastructure.
Web-specific testing tools and extensive use of manual
techniques are then used to validate application level
security for server input forms and other areas where common
attacks, such as SQL injection, can cause a security breach or
disclosure of confidential information. The purpose of this
testing is to identify application and system vulnerabilities,
technical exposures, and then propose the steps necessary to
eliminate or minimize identified risk.
