Will there be a disruption to operations during an API Penetration Test?

Not necessarily. Failing to plan or failing to properly establish expectations prior to testing could result in some disruptions. To avoid unnecessary disruptions, it’s important to communicate your concerns with our consultants during the initial meeting. The approach used for testing can generally be adjusted to avoid any major disruptions.

How will I know what vulnerabilities should be addressed first?

Once our assessment is complete, you’ll receive a detailed report that rates each vulnerability in terms of risk. It’s recommended to address those deemed higher risk before addressing less critical vulnerabilities.

API Penetration Testing

API Penetration Testing exists to ensure that the web-service interfaces that are commonly integrated with web applications are secure and safe from exploitation and cyber attacks. APIs are conduits that allow the transfer of data between sources and as such, are a tempting point of entry to those that may wish to steal data or exploit a vulnerability in your system. Our testing utilizes state-of-the-art techniques and methodologies to assess the security between your web application and the web services that the application leverages.

Here’s How We Do It

Our team uses a robust and systematic testing methodology that simulates real-world attacks and attempts at exploitation.
The assessment that we perform - which align with industry standards - yields actionable steps to improve security surrounding the APIs that you use.
While the API Penetration Testing we perform looks for vulnerabilities as a whole, a concerted effort is put into assessing those classified as OWASP top 10 vulnerabilities. This classification includes the security risks most widely considered by the developer and web security community as most critical.

Our Process

1
First, we’ll schedule a call so that you can meet with and talk to our consultants, providing you with an opportunity to discuss the security concerns pertaining to your business.
2
Next, our consultants will work with you to establish a scope of work for the API Penetration Testing so that you’ll have insight into how and when testing will be completed.
3
Based on the agreed upon scope of work, we’ll assign the team that is best suited to test for and identify vulnerabilities and gaps in security specific to your business.
4
Your assessment will include both manual and automatic testing which has been designed to simulate real-world attacks and system exploitations.
5
We’ll set up weekly status check-ins, so you’re kept abreast of any updates and so you can track the progress of the project.
6
Once the assessment is complete, we’ll present the discovered vulnerabilities. Each finding in the report will include a detailed description, risk rating, and concrete steps to follow to remediate the vulnerability.
7
If required, we can retest the integration of web services, at a later time, and update your existing report to reflect any additional findings.
