Security Testing

Web application penetration testing is a process of identifying potential vulnerabilities in web applications using simulated attacks. The purpose of this testing is to uncover and mitigate security risks to improve the application’s overall security posture.

There are two major types of penetration testing for web applications:

* Internal pen testing: This type of testing focuses on the web applications hosted on the intranet within the organization. In this case, VPN access would be necessary to allow Independent Security Group to access the application.

* External pen testing: This type of testing focuses on web applications that are accessible over the internet.

The process of web application penetration testing involves simulating cyberattacks against application systems (APIs, front-end servers, back-end servers) to identify exploitable vulnerabilities and access sensitive data. The stages involved in penetration testing include planning and reconnaissance, scanning, gaining access, maintaining access, and analysis.
