Empowering Web Applications, Enhancing Security
Currently, web applications are some of the most used tools in businesses and organizations all over the world, thanks to the growth in the use of the internet. These apps store and process a large amount of sensitive data as well as perform crucial transactions, thus becoming ideal targets for cyberattacks.
Another source of information, a report by Verizon in 2023, states that while identifying the various types of applications, web applications remain the leading cause behind 43% of all breaches.
Another study was conducted by the Ponemon Institute last year (2023), which revealed that, on average, the cost of a web application breach was $4.45 million.
What is web application penetration testing?
Web application penetration testing, also known as web pen testing, is a form of security testing where professionals break into a website on behalf of webmasters. The purpose is to discover problems where reckless individuals can take advantage of and compromise the system’s security. This involves evaluating which portions of the application are dangerous and what precautions are best suited to avoid these risks.
