Web applications are one of the most exposed and frequently targeted components of modern digital environments. They are used to manage sensitive data, support critical business processes, and provide access to internal systems for users, partners, and customers. As a result, vulnerabilities in web applications often lead to serious security incidents, data breaches, and operational disruption. Shavit Group – Security Defense & Cyber provides professional Web Application Penetration Testing services designed to identify real security risks and demonstrate how they can be exploited in practice.
Web Application Penetration Testing is a controlled and authorized security assessment that simulates real-world attacks against web-based systems. Unlike automated vulnerability scanning, this process focuses on understanding application behavior, logic, and trust relationships. The objective is to uncover weaknesses that attackers can abuse to bypass security controls, gain unauthorized access, or manipulate application functionality.
Testing Methodology and Approach
Web application penetration testing is performed according to internationally recognized standards and best practices, including OWASP, NIST, and SANS. Each engagement is tailored to the specific application architecture, technology stack, and business context.
The testing process includes application mapping, analysis of user roles and permissions, authentication and session management testing, input validation, access control enforcement, and business logic evaluation. Both client-side and server-side components are examined, along with APIs, backend services, and third-party integrations.
Black Box, Gray Box, and White Box testing models are supported. This flexibility allows organizations to select an assessment approach that aligns with their risk appetite, development stage, and regulatory requirements.
Scope and Coverage
Web Application Penetration Testing covers a wide range of application types and deployment models, including:
- Public-facing websites and customer portals
- Enterprise and internal web applications
- APIs and microservices architectures
- Content management systems
- Cloud-hosted and SaaS platforms
Testing focuses on identifying common and advanced vulnerabilities such as injection flaws, cross-site scripting, broken authentication, improper access controls, insecure configurations, and logic-based weaknesses. Special attention is given to vulnerability chaining and attack paths that demonstrate realistic impact rather than isolated findings.
Reporting and Remediation Support
Each engagement concludes with a detailed and actionable report. The report includes a clear description of each finding, technical evidence of exploitation, and an explanation of the potential business impact. Vulnerabilities are prioritized based on risk and likelihood to support effective remediation planning.
Practical remediation guidance is provided, aligned with secure development and application hardening best practices. Re-testing services are available to validate fixes and confirm that vulnerabilities have been properly resolved.
