Web Application Assessment
What is a Web Application Assessment?
FairCo's Web Application Assessment services enable our clients to understand the true security state of their Web Applications. Web Applications are best defined as web pages which are dynamic in nature and provide program-like functionality to the end user. Examples of common Web Applications include, but are not limited to E-Commerce portals, customer service portals, search engines, and all web pages written in any type of scripting or programming language such as JAVA, PHP, ASP, Perl, Cold Fusion, etc.
Web Application exposures are among some of the highest risk vulnerabilities on the Internet. More than half of the successful malicious compromises resulting in web page defacement or credit card theft are the result of Web Application Vulnerabilities. FairCo's Web Application Assessment services can be executed in conjunction with our vulnerability assessments or penetration testing services or in a standalone manner.
FairCo will produce actionable reports at the conclusion of each Web Application Assessment. These reports identify the faults discovered within the Web Applications and provide methods for remediation. As with all FairCo deliverables, the Web Application Assessment deliverables are the product of skilled security professionals and not the product of automated tools and scanners.
Why are Web Application Assessments Important for Your Business?
FairCo's Web Application Assessments enable our clients to protect sensitive information collected or produced by Web Applications from theft, manipulation or corruption. Credit card and debit card theft is one of the most notable areas of risk with regard to Web Application compromises resulting in attackers gaining total access to back-end databases and their respective information. Exploitation of compromised data not only causes serious harm to the reputation of a business, but also harms the owners of the respective data. FairCo's security professionals can offer solutions to prevent this damage by executing thorough Web Application Assessments.
FairCo performs a Web Application Assessment by dissecting each Web Application within an Internet site, identifying all pages and variables that are using the application.
Once this initial reconnaissance is performed, FairCo assesses the Web Application for known and unknown security vulnerabilities. When potential vulnerabilities are discovered, these vulnerabilities are ranked and assessed by FairCo's security professionals. This assessment ensures that our reports are of the highest quality.
At the conclusion of the Web Application Assessment, FairCo produces actionable reports. The reports will contain all discovered vulnerabilities and provide strong methods of remediation for those vulnerabilities. Once those methods of remediation are implemented, FairCo will revalidate the system to ensure that the remedies are successful. This revalidation helps ensures that our clients' Web Applications are secure.
