Application Security Assessment
Data analysis by the Web Application Security Consortium (WASC) shows that
more than 7% of analyzed sites can be compromised automatically. That
percentage increases to 96.85% when detailed manual and automated assessment
methods are used. In order to reduce the privacy and reliability exposure
of your web-facing applications, they need to undergo an in depth
application security assessment.
Solution At-a-Glance:
At a Glance: HALOCK’s approach to web application security assessment
provides a flexible framework for comprehensively identifying and evaluating
technical vulnerabilities. As these applications vary, so do the testing
efforts, but are tested using a flexible methodology designed to accommodate
the custom nature of each application .
Recommendations and analysis
are based on the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) and the Web
Application Security Consortium (WASC). As different methods expose
different types of issues, HALOCK’s hybrid methodology utilized automated
scanning tools, manual testing of compiled code, and review of components of
the precompiled source code, as appropriate.
Our wealth of web
application experience will help resolve issues and eliminate undetected
flaws and bugs in your web-facing applications.
Web application
testing is a requirement of many of the security standards in place today
such as the PCI Data Security Standard and ISO 27002.
- Detailed planning to gain a detailed understanding of the function and
inherent risks of the application, as well as identify the most safe and
appropriate approach to testing
- Detailed application discovery using authenticated credentials to
identify entry points for user interaction as well as application
input/output
- Automated and manual testing of configuration management,
authentication, session management, authorization, business logic, data
validation, and identified web services
- Detailed findings and recommendations for improvement
- Education and knowledge transfer so that you are equipped to move
forward with a secure application
