Why Web Application Testing with Bridewell?
Using a combination of custom tooling, automated tooling and manual testing, our penetration testing team will take a business-focused approach. Beyond identifying common vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, the assessment will help your organization understand the tangible impact on your business and operations.
Key Challenges
Modern web applications act as a ‘front end’ for most organizations and rely on complex APIs to handle customer data – everything from payments to inventory and customer service.
While a lot of modern application frameworks are secure as standard, they can easily be misconfigured or fall behind the latest updates which leaves room for exploitation by bad actors.
Moreover, web applications and APIs are frequently interconnected with other services and run in the cloud, meaning that potential compromises can lead to further compromises in other areas of the business.
This complexity leads to heavy scrutiny from ‘bug bounty hunters’ and potential threats, while also making it challenging for organizations to completely secure them.
How it Works
Bridewell can take either an authenticated or unauthenticated approach to testing web applications and APIs.
Typically, our penetration testers will prefer to take an authenticated approach – where the client provides us with relevant permissions and accounts – in order to assess how potential adversaries would exploit web applications once they gain the right credentials. For organizations who prefer it, our team can also take an unauthenticated approach.
Our team uses custom tooling and in-depth manual testing to help find obscure vulnerabilities in addition to the common vulnerabilities identified by our automated tooling.
All our engagements align with the latest OWASP Web Security Testing methodology to ensure consistency and to allow our team more time to spend on finding harder to find vulnerabilities.
