Web applications provide an interface between end users and web servers through a set of web pages that are generated at the server end or contain script code to be executed dynamically within the client Web browser.
Organizations often rely on Web applications to support key business processes and improve performance. New technologies used for Web applications, provide more attack surface for web application exploitation; hence, if not properly secured, it might be the most dangerous vector for success in business.
CyberAudit offers professional Web Application Testing (Web Application ethical hacking, Web Application penetration testing) in Germany and worldwide, incl. Web Server Testing. We use a broad range of penetration testing tools and manual testing to make sure that the Testing Target is protected against all variety of cyber attacks.
Our methodology, used in Web Application Testing, is largely built based on our successful previous experience and industry accepted penetration testing approaches, standards and guidelines from the world’s leading associations and organizations, such as Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) which provides guidance and lists the Top 10 Web applications most serious cyber risks for a broad array of Organizations.
