Web security refers to protecting networks and computer systems from damage to or the theft of software, hardware, or data. It includes protecting computer systems from misdirecting or disrupting the services they are designed to provide. Web security is crucial to the smooth operation of any business that uses computers. If a website is hacked or hackers are able to manipulate your systems or software, your website—and even your entire network—can be brought down, halting business operations.

Commissioning a penetration test enables organisations to reduce security risk and provide assurance into the security of their IT estates, by mitigating weaknesses before they can be maliciously exploited. By proactively identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities and providing clear help and advice to remediate issues, our ethical hacking and security penetration testing services enable you to understand and significantly reduce your organisation’s cyber security risk.

We will help you identify vulnerabilities including:

Insecure configurations
We look for open ports, use of weak password credentials and unsafe user privileges, as well as deep configuration issues that can be exploited to achieve network access.

Flaws in encryption
We check that the encryption methods being used to protect and transmit data are secure enough to prevent tampering and eavesdropping.

Programming weaknesses
We examine software source code to identify code injection and memory flaws that could lead to the exposure of data.

Session management flaws
We test whether cookies and tokens used by software applications can be exploited to hijack sessions and escalate privileges.
