What is Web Application
Pentesting?
Web application penetration testing (pentesting), also known as ethical hacking, is a crucial cybersecurity practice that simulates real-world attacks to proactively identify vulnerabilities before cybercriminals can exploit them. Unlike automated vulnerability scans, which often provide only a surface-level assessment, manual pentesting offers a comprehensive, tailored security evaluation specific to your web application's needs.
This rigorous approach surpasses automated security checks by manually identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities such as SQL Injection (SQLi), Command Injection (CMDi), LDAP Injection (LDAPi), XML External Entities (XXE), Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR), Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Remote File Inclusion (RFI), Local File Inclusion (LFI), and Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF). By identifying and mitigating these security gaps, businesses can strengthen their web applications and safeguard critical data from malicious threats.

Our Web Pentesting Services at The Affila Group
At The Affila Group, we offer comprehensive web application penetration testing services that not only identify security gaps but also help remediate them. Our approach is tailored to each client’s unique requirements, ensuring a thorough security evaluation of both applications and the underlying systems supporting them.
Pentesting: Beyond Vulnerability Identification
Our approach to penetration testing is not just about finding vulnerabilities—it’s about thinking like an attacker. Our ethical hackers analyze security flaws as if they were attempting to exploit them, dentifying potential credential leaks, misconfigurations, and overlooked weaknesses that could be used in real-world cyberattacks.
We don’t just stop at identifying risks; we provide detailed remediation guidance, helping organizations build a robust cybersecurity defense that addresses both current and emerging threats.
