Web Application Penetration Testing
Web applications have become the lifeblood of business operations. Yet, with every digital advancement comes the shadow of potential vulnerabilities. Protecting your web apps is not just about defense—it's about anticipation. Leviathan's web application penetration testing service goes beyond the conventional. Instead of relying solely on automated scanners, we adopt the mindset of real-world attackers, using artisanal, manually crafted attack techniques to uncover vulnerabilities that machines might miss.
Why Leviathan's Approach Stands Out
Artisanal Attack Philosophy
The most potent attacks are not generic; they're tailored. By adopting this approach, Leviathan simulates sophisticated adversaries who craft their attacks with precision.
Manual Over Machine
While scanners can catch standard vulnerabilities, the deeper, more insidious weaknesses often require a human touch. Our experts manually probe, ensuring a thorough and comprehensive vulnerability assessment.
OWASP Top 10 Aligned
Recognizing the importance of industry benchmarks, our penetration testing is aligned with multiple respected testing standards including the OWASP Top 10, ensuring you're guarded against the most critical web application vulnerabilities.
Comprehensive Mapping
The initial phase in fortifying an application’s infrastructure involves comprehensive mapping of the attack surface. This thorough inspection and documentation encompass almost every aspect of the application. At a high level, the scope of this process spans:
The identification and analysis of entry points
The complete breakdown of architecture
Analysis of existing configurations, languages, operational practices, and inscribed procedures.
This exhaustive exercise results in a meticulous footprint of the application’s structure and functions, laying a strong foundation for the forthcoming steps.
Focused Expertise and Utilitarian Tools
Upon achieving a comprehensive understanding of the application’s structure, Leviathan’s expert bench will begin a thorough assessment of the application. We handpick proficient experts who are well-versed in assaulting particular application categories and programming syntaxes.
A conducive blend of manual and automated oversight processes employ proprietary hacking instruments to stress-test the application. Using this methodology does not limit us to the readily identifiable vulnerabilities present in the OWASP Top 10, but ventures to shine a light upon a gamut of issues that real-world attackers target in their venture for breach.
Consequently, Leviathan is able to offer a more profound understanding of the potential security gaps that exist in applications than any other assessor.
Amid the barrage of automated scanning findings and stereotypical advisories, our unique approach slices through the mundane “non findings” to reach the truly significant issues.
By focusing primarily on meaningful details, Leviathan Security Group ensures that application teams aren’t bogged down by the chaff of irrelevant information but are instead forcibly directed towards the grain – the elements that truly matter for securing the application.
Cutting Through the Noise
Tactical and Strategic Mitigations
Our findings and recommendations for remediation are not randomly doled out by some automated robot, but are meticulously prioritized based on two principal factors – the possibility of exploitation and the probable business impact.
This potent combination of discovery, evaluation, focus, and informed action inevitably empowers these teams to adeptly implement tactical and strategic mitigations. Significantly, this entire process advances without pigeonholing the agility and rapidity of software development, ensuring that the pace of progress remains undeterred.
Every Customer is Unique
Every Application is Important
The journey from comprehensive mapping to empowerment through remedial action is one of meticulous precision, calculated evaluation, and targeted course correction.
This step-by-step progress signifies a profound collaboration between your team and your Leviathan experts, navigating smoothly through the challenging yet rewarding course of securing an application while preserving the essence of speed and agility in its development.
In the grand scheme of cybersecurity, defending your web applications is not just about reacting to threats—it's about proactive anticipation. With Leviathan's web application penetration testing, you're not just safeguarding against vulnerabilities; you're gaining a partner dedicated to the art and science of advanced threat simulation.
Embrace the future of web security with confidence, precision, and the expertise of Leviathan by your side.
