OWASP Testing
PCI Compliance 



Web applications are a strategic part of doing business for most companies. Communication to their customers and interaction with business partners both require the efficient operation of a web services model.



Web application breaches remain one of the top nine patterns of attack. With recent vulnerabilities like Shellshock and the web CGI based attack vectors, keeping up with new and undiscovered threats can be time-consuming - especially if you’re using a manual process.


Web applications are highly exposed because of their immediate proximity to the public Internet. A poorly written script on a web application can allow an attacker to get access to sensitive back end databases.
 


SecureNet Consulting is able to perform deep web application testing, which goes far beyond running an automated tool. Our consultants are experts in manually analysing web applications in the same way an attacker does.

Most websites and applications are dynamic in their design, using databases at the back end and scripts that execute on the browser. Our consultants will verify how robust the architecture is against an attacker by tampering with the variables passed back to the application server.

We utilise a combination of automated and manual methods using the latest tools and techniques to ensure comprehensive testing coverage. Our aim is to identify all potential vulnerabilities during an assessment.


 

This includes the top ten threats identified by the Open Web Application Security Project:

OWASP Testing



  • Cross site scripting (XSS)
  • Stress & DoS Testing
  • Injection flaws
  • Weak Passwords
  • Malicious file execution
  • Insecure direct object reference
  • Cross site request forgery (CSRF)

  • Information leakage and improper error handling
  • Broken authentication and session management
  • Insecure cryptographic storage

  • Insecure communications

  • Failure to restrict URL access





Reduce your risk from unidentified vulnerabilities and maximise web app coverage with enhanced automation and progressive scanning.
If you are currently running vulnerability scanning tools yourself, then you know, at first-hand, how much time and effort is required for this repetitive task. As we provide this as part of our managed service we can remove that onerous task, freeing you up to focus on higher-value activity. We will work through your scanning results and validate these to provide you with genuine issues only by removing false positives.



We can help make sure that your organisation’s web applications are secure, regardless of where you are in the development process.
No matter how much code or how many web applications you have, or how often they change.


Automated and expert team services 

Web application scanning services enables you to assess, track and remediate your web application vulnerabilities on a continual basis. Whilst penetration testing is necessary to give you an in-depth understanding of your weaknesses, our web application scanning managed service notifies you of new vulnerabilities on a much more frequent basis.


Scanning frequency will depend on your requirements, and will ensure that you are covered throughout the year in between your regular annual penetration test.



PCI Compliance Scanning
Any company that has to comply with the PCI Data Security Standards has to perform quarterly external vulnerability scans as outlined by requirement 11.2 of the standard.


Audit support  

We can provide independent reports to your auditors that prove your change control processes and vulnerability risk mitigation strategy is working.


Web application testing will identify the below plus much more:
  • SQL injection, XSS and all OWASP top 10 issues
  • Inadequate session management
  • Poor authentication policies or mechanisms
  • Incorrectly configured or invalid certificates

The report produced shows exactly how each vulnerability was exploited with screenshots including examples so that the issue can be replicated, identified quickly and remediated efficiently.

Even minor updates to a web application’s code can introduce significant vulnerabilities, so it is necessary to create a multi-layered strategy to protect web applications, which includes regular consultant testing whenever new or significant code is released.
