Securing Your Web Applications: Comprehensive Web Application Security Testing by Securis360


In today’s digital world, the security of web applications is crucial for protecting sensitive data, maintaining user trust, and safeguarding business operations. With cyber threats on the rise, Securis360 offers specialized Web Application Security Testing (WAST) designed to detect and mitigate vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them. This service ensures your web applications remain secure, reliable, and compliant.

What is Web Application Security Testing (WAST)?

WAST is a comprehensive process that evaluates the security of a web application by uncovering and addressing potential vulnerabilities. By simulating real-world attack scenarios, Securis360’s WAST identifies weak points in your application’s code, architecture, and security controls. The goal is to reinforce the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your web application, creating a trusted and secure environment for users.

Key Stages of Securis360’s WAST

Our WAST process combines automated scanning tools with manual penetration testing techniques to provide a thorough security assessment. Here’s how it works:

  1. Application Analysis: This first step involves a detailed examination of the web application’s code and architecture. Our experts search for technical flaws, weaknesses, or gaps that attackers might exploit, helping you understand and address underlying security risks.

  2. Security Control Testing: Securis360 evaluates the effectiveness of the security controls that protect the web application. This stage identifies whether existing security measures are sufficient or if they need enhancement to fend off potential threats.

  3. Reporting and Recommendations: After the analysis and testing stages, we provide an in-depth report of any discovered vulnerabilities. This includes actionable recommendations and proposed mitigation strategies to help you strengthen your application’s defenses.

The Two Phases of WAST

Securis360’s Web Application Security Testing is conducted in two primary stages:

  • Automated Scanning: In this phase, we deploy automated tools to conduct a rapid, broad scan of your web application. These tools highlight common vulnerabilities such as SQL injections, cross-site scripting (XSS), and insecure configurations.

  • Manual Penetration Testing: Automated tools can identify many vulnerabilities, but some complex issues, such as business logic flaws, require a manual approach. Our skilled testers simulate real-world attack scenarios to test for vulnerabilities that automation alone cannot detect.

Advanced Tools for Effective WAST

To maximize the effectiveness of our testing, Securis360 employs a range of advanced tools that provide detailed insights into application vulnerabilities. Some of the key tools we use include:

  • Acunetix: This powerful tool automatically prioritizes high-risk vulnerabilities, helping us address critical issues swiftly. It can scan multiple environments simultaneously, making it ideal for complex applications with varied deployment scenarios.

  • Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP): As a free, open-source web application scanner, ZAP is widely recognized for its comprehensive features. We use it to detect vulnerabilities in session management, anti-CSRF tokens, and authentication and authorization mechanisms, providing layered security insights.

  • Fortify Static Code Analysis (SCA): This tool allows developers to recognize, prioritize, and resolve security issues in the application’s source code, ensuring a secure development lifecycle. Fortify SCA identifies issues early, helping to prevent security flaws from reaching production.

Benefits of Securis360’s Web Application Security Testing

Securis360’s WAST offers several advantages for organizations aiming to secure their web applications:

  1. Proactive Risk Identification: By identifying vulnerabilities early, Securis360 helps you prevent costly security breaches and reduce downtime caused by cyber incidents.

  2. Enhanced User Trust: A secure web application builds user confidence, fostering loyalty and trust. Customers can feel safe knowing their data is protected, improving your brand’s reputation.

  3. Regulatory Compliance: Many industries are subject to strict regulations regarding data security. Our WAST services help ensure compliance with standards like OWASP, PCI-DSS, and GDPR, making audits and regulatory reviews easier to navigate.

  4. Cost Savings and ROI: Investing in regular security testing is more cost-effective than dealing with the fallout of a security breach. Proactive WAST helps prevent data breaches that can lead to financial loss, legal repercussions, and damage to your brand.

  5. Continuous Improvement: Securis360 provides a detailed security roadmap based on our findings, guiding you toward long-term improvements in your application’s security posture. This continuous improvement approach helps you stay ahead of evolving threats.
