Web application penetration testing, also known as web app pen testing or web app pentesting, is a proactive security measure designed to assess the security of web applications by simulating real-world cyber attacks. In essence, it involves attempting to exploit vulnerabilities within a web application in a controlled and systematic manner to identify potential security risks and weaknesses before malicious actors can exploit them.
At its core, web application penetration testing aims to mimic the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of attackers who may seek to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of an organization’s web-based assets. By conducting these simulated attacks, security professionals can gain valuable insights into the security posture of a web application and provide actionable recommendations to mitigate identified vulnerabilities.
Web application penetration testing is performed for several important reasons, each contributing to the overall goal of enhancing cybersecurity and protecting organizations from potential cyber threats. Here are some key reasons why web application penetration testing is carried out:
