Application Security Testing
Insecure applications are one of the most common causes of cyberattacks. With application security testing, we systematically check your software for vulnerabilities and make risks visible before attackers can exploit them. We combine automated tools with manual analyses by our experts and ensure that your applications are secure, stable and compliant.
Why application security testing?
Today, applications are the preferred target of attackers. A structured testing approach helps to reduce risks and meet compliance requirements.
Recognize security gaps at an early stage
We identify vulnerabilities during development so that you can avoid expensive rework and security incidents.
Realistically assess risks
Our tests show which vulnerabilities are critical and how attacks could actually take place.
Prove compliance
Regular tests are a prerequisite for norms and standards such as ISO 27001, NIS2 or CRA. With our reports, you are sure to meet these requirements.
Test methods at a glance
For a holistic evaluation of applications, we rely on different test procedures. Each provides unique insights and uncovers different types of vulnerabilities.
SAST - Static Application Security Testing
Source code is analyzed without execution. This allows vulnerabilities such as insecure functions, incorrect validations or inadequate exception handling to be identified at an early stage.
DAST - Dynamic Application Security Testing
The application is tested during runtime. We simulate external attacks and uncover errors in authentication, session management or API calls.
IAST - Interactive Application Security Testing
A combination of static and dynamic procedures. The application is monitored during runtime so that vulnerabilities become visible in real time.
Our procedure in 4 steps
Application security testing follows a structured process that creates transparency and delivers practical results.
1. analysis of the application and architecture
We get a precise picture of your application, its interfaces and the architecture used.
2. selection of suitable test methods
Based on the analysis, we determine the appropriate procedures such as SAST, DAST or IAST to specifically uncover weak points.
3. carrying out automated and manual checks
We combine tool-supported tests with manual analyses by our experts to identify even complex vulnerabilities.
4. reporting and recommendations for action
You receive a clear report with prioritized risks and concrete measures that can be implemented immediately.
Typical weak points
Application Security Testing uncovers the attack vectors that most frequently lead to security incidents in practice.
Insecure authentication
Weak passwords, missing multi-factor authentication or faulty login mechanisms allow unauthorized access.
Injection attacks
SQL injection, cross-site scripting or command injection are caused by inadequate input validation.
Insecure API implementations
A lack of access controls or unprotected endpoints give attackers direct access to data and processes.
Lack of session management
Expired or unsecured sessions can be taken over and used for attacks.
