What is Application Penetration Testing?

Application Penetration Testing refers to a process that simulates real-world attacks to find weaknesses and secure your apps before the real attackers strike. It involves steps like gathering info, testing, reporting, and fixing issues. This helps users check if hackers can access data, assess email server security, and understand website and server safety.

Benefits of Application Penetration Testing Services

1. Exposing Vulnerabilities:

Penetration testing helps identify vulnerabilities and weak links in your application by simulating real-world hackers. This allows organizations to proactively address and patch them before they can be exploited by malicious actors enhancing overall security.

2. Compliance and Risk Management:

Regular application penetration testing services ensure your alignment with necessary legal compliance statutes and regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, and more. Non-compliance may lead to potential fines, penalties, and reputational harm.

3. Enhanced Security Posture:

The reports of such pentests serve as your compass to make informed decisions in the allocation of your cybersecurity resources, allowing you to focus on areas that demand the utmost attention, rather than dispersing them thinly across the entire infrastructure.

4. Customer Confidence and Reputation:

Successful remediation of weaknesses identified by an application penetration testing activity allows you to establish a robust foundation for data security facilitating trust building with your customers and partners.

Application Penetration Testing Methodologies

1. Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST):

DAST assesses your applications externally, simulating real-world attacks to identify vulnerabilities exploitable by outsiders. It uses tools to interact with the app, sending inputs and analyzing responses for problems like injection attacks, authentication bypasses, and insecure configurations.

2. Static Application Security Testing (SAST):

SAST examines your source code, byte code, and binary files to uncover security vulnerabilities during app development. It detects insecure coding practices, data leaks, and possible backdoors, often revealing deep-seated issues that dynamic testing might overlook.

3. Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST):

IAST combines DAST and SAST. It monitors your apps in real time through embedded instrumentation to spot vulnerabilities. This provides insights into app behaviour, aiding real-time detection of security issues.

4. Manual Application Penetration Testing:

Skilled security experts manually explore your application to uncover vulnerabilities that automated tools often miss. This method replicates real-world attacks and creatively seeks out intricate security weaknesses, playing a crucial role in your comprehensive app pen testing strategy.

5. Mobile Application Security Penetration Testing:

Mobile application pen testing focuses on vulnerabilities specific to your mobile platforms, including issues related to mobile APIs, data storage, and authentication mechanisms. The higher your adoption rate, the higher is the need of securing your platform.

6. Web Services Penetration Testing:

It involves assessment of security of APIs and web services utilized by your application. Expert pentesters evaluate and check for vulnerabilities like XML/SOAP injection, parameter tampering, and authorization issues in the APIs.

If your website makes API calls to different domains, you can add them as an extra host without having to purchase another domain.

Let's say you have a customer dashboard at https://app.example.com/ and an admin dashboard at https://admin.example.com/ with different login pages, then you will need 2 targets.

What is application penetration testing?

Application penetration testing refers to the process of scanning, identifying and exploiting found vulnerabilities within an application, be it mobile, web apps or others. It allows you to understand the weaknesses of your security more thoroughly and the impact of a possible breach due to the existing vulnerabilities.

How does scans behind logins work?

Astra's chrome extension allows collection of credentials and records to it for carrying out an authenticated scan without time-outs.

Can I request a re-scan to check if the vulnerability is patched?

Yes, Astra Security's cybersecurity services include vulnerability assessments and penetration tests. The successful remediation of the vulnerabilities identified is verified with the help of mandatory unlimited re-scans.

What are the benefits of employing Astra's application penetration testing services?

The following are the benefits of employing Astra Security's application penetration testing services:

1. Identify and fix security flaws in your website.

2. Penetration testing emulates real-life attack scenarios and helps in mitigating risks.

3. Help in achieving certain compliance requirements and avoid hefty penalties for non-compliance.

How does Astra help with vulnerability remediation?

From the minute vulnerabilities are detected during a scan, Astra provides remediation assistance in the following ways: 

1. Contextual collaboration through dashboard between expert pentesters and developers of customer organization for efficient remediation.

2. Comment boxes directly underneath every listed vulnerability in dashboard so that you can clear your queries immediately.

3. Actionable VAPT reports with easy-to-follow remediation steps and with risk scores based on CVSS scores and contextual data for prioritization of fixes.

4. Customer service 24*7 through emails, phone calls, and chats.
