Web application penetration testing
NetSPI tests your web applications wherever they are hosted. We employ a combination of manual and automated penetration testing processes using commercial, open source, and proprietary security testing tools.
Benefits of web application penetration testing
Web applications pose a key risk to your ever-expanding perimeter. NetSPI’s web application penetration testing reduces organizational risk and improves application security.
During our web application penetration testing service, NetSPI pentests your web applications for security vulnerabilities, including the OWASP Top 10 web application vulnerabilities, and provides actionable guidance for remediating vulnerabilities and improving your organization’s application security risk posture.
