Application, API & Platform Assessments
Expose Weaknesses in Your Most Complex Assets
Today’s web applications and APIs serve as the primary interface between your business and the world. They also represent your most exposed attack surface, one that evolves with every new feature, update, or integration.
Don’t wait for attackers to find weaknesses in your digital front door.
Protect your applications, your data, and your reputation with comprehensive security assessments.
When was the last time your critical applications underwent a thorough security assessment?
The Hidden Dangers in Modern Applications
The consequences of inadequate application security extend far beyond technical issues:
Data Breaches
Compromised applications can expose sensitive customer and business data
Financial Losses
Recovery costs, penalties, disruption, and even loss of business
Reputational Damage
Customer trust, once broken by a security incident, is extraordinarily difficult to rebuild
Regular, comprehensive assessments are no longer optional, they’re essential to maintaining both security and compliance in rapidly evolving environments.
Beyond Automated Scanning
Automated DAST scanners can identify known issues, but they miss the critical context and business logic flaws that attackers exploit:
Manual Deep Dives
Expert penetration testers explore your application’s unique security logic and workflows
Business Logic Analysis
We identify flaws in authorization, data access, and transaction processes that scanners can’t detect
Custom Attack Scenarios
Tailored testing based on your application’s specific functionality and risk profile
Comprehensive Coverage
Assessment of both public-facing components and authenticated functionality
The Complete Attack Surface Perspective
There’s a lot more to an application that what we can initially see on the surface:
Unauthenticated Testing
We identify vulnerabilities accessible to outsiders, modeling how skilled attackers attempt to gain initial access
Authenticated Testing
We evaluate risks from credential theft, privilege escalation, and malicious authorized users
Role-Based Assessments
We verify that role boundaries are properly enforced to prevent unauthorized data access
Platform-Wide Evaluation
We test how your applications, APIs, and cloud environments function as an interconnected ecosystem
