Web Application Security Testing
(WAST) Services
Empower your web presence with our industry recognised Web Application Security Testing—a high-level, cost-effective assessment ensuring robust defences against potential vulnerabilities, safeguarding your web hosted digital assets.
Importance of Assessment and Implementation
Web Application Security Testing (WAST) is a cybersecurity testing method that analyses web application traffic to identify and block malicious attacks. WAST tools can detect a wide range of attacks, including cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.

Cybersecurity FAQ’S
1. What is web application security testing?
Web application security testing is the process of identifying vulnerabilities and weaknesses in a web application that could be exploited by attackers. This process aims to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the application and its data.
2. Why is web application security testing important?
Security testing is crucial for several reasons:
Preventing data breaches: It helps identify and mitigate vulnerabilities that could lead to sensitive data exposure.
Maintaining compliance: Many regulations (e.g., HIPAA, PCI DSS) require regular security assessments.
Protecting reputation: Security incidents can severely damage an organization’s reputation and customer trust.
Ensuring business continuity: It helps prevent attacks that could disrupt application functionality and business operations.
3. What are the common types of web application security testing?
Common types include:
Penetration Testing: Simulating real-world attacks to identify exploitable vulnerabilities.
Vulnerability Scanning: Automated scanning to detect known vulnerabilities.
Static Application Security Testing (SAST): Analyzing source code for security flaws during development.
Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST): Testing a running application from the outside, like a hacker would.
Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST): Combining elements of SAST and DAST for more comprehensive analysis.
API Security Testing: Specifically focusing on the security of APIs used by the web application.
4. What are best practices for WAST?
Integrate into the SDLC: Incorporate security testing early and throughout the software development lifecycle.
Use a defense-in-depth approach: Employ multiple security measures and tools, not just one, to create layered defenses.
Follow established frameworks: Use guidelines like the OWASP Top 10 to identify and mitigate common security risks.
Implement web application firewalls (WAFs): Use WAFs to filter and monitor HTTP traffic between a web application and the internet.
Adopt secure coding practices: Train developers to write secure code and implement input validation and output encoding.
