Application Security Testing evaluates the security of web and mobile applications to protect them from cyber-attacks. From source-code all the way up to the browser, an application security assessment measures the effectiveness of the controls you currently have in place by simulating a hack. Our OWASP-based Application Security Testing goes far beyond the OWASP Top 10 and helps to uncover even the more hard-to-find vulnerabilities exploited by more sophisticated adversaries. We have developed a unique approach to source top talent which has resulted in far more thorough testing than industry standards. Each of our consultants has at a minimum, the coveted 24-hour OSCP certification. Most application security testers rely on automated testing alone. This is only the beginning of our process, which is followed by extensive manual processes to provide one of the most thorough services the industry offers. The problem with automation alone is that it is prone to false positives (e.g., incorrect findings) and false negatives (e.g., missing critical areas of the application, lack of context, chained exploits, and more). By never relying on automation, our experts explore opportunities for more advanced attackers, mimicking a real-world scenario. Packetlabs’ unique approach to application security testing begins with developing a threat model and taking the time to understand the overall purpose, the components, and their interaction with sensitive information or functionality. This approach enables realistic simulation of how an attacker would target your application and in turn, provides you with more value. Only after thorough analysis do we begin attempting to manually compromise each layer of defence within the environment.
