Web Application Penetration Testing // Echelon Risk + Cyber

Identify web application security gaps through emulated, real-world attacks.

Subject your web application to common attack techniques with our experienced professionals.

Improve App Security from the Start

Web-based application development and the explosion of Software-as-a-Service have created a fundamental shift in how online services are delivered to users. With new applications and services come new vulnerabilities created by coding issues or infrastructure misconfigurations. The problem of insecure software is a systemic cybersecurity issue that has transcended time. We were built to help you address this heightened sense of cybersecurity risk.

Our team of dedicated application security specialists works with application development shops to further the security of the applications they work on day in and day out. Our team can assist your organization in developing and building internal capabilities, or provide a point-in-time security evaluation with our Web Application Penetration Testing process.

Fix Vulnerabilities for Repeatable Results

Our process uses a combination of automated and manual testing. We begin our process using a purpose built web application security tool that combines the power of dynamic application security testing (DAST) with interactive application security testing (IAST). After we analyze your web application using this tool, we will then leverage these results to inform our manual testing phase.

For manual testing, our team follows the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) testing framework, which is an industry accepted best practices framework for assessing security of web applications. Our team will analyze the automated scan results and collaborate with you to develop a suitable test plan for execution. Once our plan is set, we will run our test cases against your application and work with your team to identify vulnerabilities and provide actionable guidance for remediation.

Functional areas of the OWASP testing framework that may be covered during our testing include:

Information Gathering
Configuration and Deployment
Management Testing
Identity Management Testing
Authentication Testing
Authorization Testing
Session Management Testing
Input Validation Testing
Error Handling
Cryptography
Business Logic Testing
Client-Side Testing

Our Web Application Penetration Testing process will not only help your application become more secure, but we also aim to improve the capabilities of your team by providing them with actionable and repeatable results. Some key differentiators of our approach include:

Collaborative mindset in our approach, no cookie cutters here.
Knowledge sharing throughout the process from our team to yours.
Our tests are performed by skilled and experienced operators.
Build immediate organizational resilience against cyber attacks.
Key findings will help build a tactical and strategic cybersecurity roadmap.
Validate your security investments by highlighting key strengths and positive notes.
