Web Application and API Penetration Testing
Unveiling security gaps in your platforms, applications and products.
What Is
Web Application Penetration Testing?
A web application penetration test focuses on manipulating the data flows, interrupting business logic and modifying the interactive elements of the application to perform unintended actions. Wilbourne's value-add approach includes performing additional activities, such as reviewing source-code, infrastructure, web server configuration and third-party integrations.
What Is
API Penetration Testing?
An API penetration test focuses on reviewing and testing the security of your API endpoints. This involves manipulating user input to these endpoints in order to perform unauthorised actions, generate unintended output, or uncover business logic flaws. Common vulnerabilities we test for include broken access controls, authentication, sensitive data exposure, and injection-type attacks.
Most Consultancies:
Driven by Junior Consultants
Resulting in basic, surface level testing which fails to deliver comprehensive coverage.
Heavier on Automation
Excessive reliance on automated scanning, which decreases the likelihood of identifying sophisticated vulnerabilities.
Checklist Approach
Consultants stick to a confined testing methodology, which leaves less room to perform more elaborative attacks.
