APIs simplify access to your provided functionality for companies and teams, eliminating the need for them to develop it. However, exposed APIs pose a risk; a vulnerability can impact every application using your API, potentially damaging your reputation. To mitigate this, we utilize tools employed by attackers, ensuring real-time attacker testing for API security
How it Works
Methodology
Our API penetration testing adopts a hybrid methodology, combining the OWASP approach with our custom test cases. This holistic method guarantees comprehensive API testing. Following the testing phase and documentation of findings, we collaborate with developers to establish secure coding practices, mitigating the reoccurrence of API security concerns.
Project Planning
Develop a project plan based on the requirements, categorizing test cases for automation and manual execution
Custom Test Cases
Build custom test cases around business logic.
Automated Assessment
Utilize automated scanners to detect vulnerabilities and verify the results
Manual Assessment
Execute manual test cases and examine the outcomes
Reporting
Consolidate the findings into a thorough report
