![]() New vulnerabilities are being discovered in the open source or commercial components used in the application.Lack of security testing during the Software Development lifecycle (SDLC).These vulnerabilities in web applications arise because of 2 primary reasons: Modern applications are not developed but are assembled by using open source and commercial components to reduce the to go-to-market time. ![]() Whether or not an organization’s web application was developed by full-time employees or by a contractor, there is always risk involved when it comes to cybersecurity. Many organizations develop their web applications or websites using a global community of developers, meaning that there are externally hired developers involved in the development of their web applications. So, what is the most common types of assets are being Tested? Web Applications The objective of Penetration Testing is to surface weak points or vulnerabilities within the digital landscape by simulating a cyber-attack before a cyber adversary even gets the chance to exploit said vulnerabilities. This combined approach gives the businesses the best of both worlds by leveraging human ingenuity to identify exploitable vulnerabilities and business logic otherwise invisible to the automated tools, to ensure comprehensiveness, scale, and faster time to value. As a result, organizations are quickly revamping their methodology of conducting PenTest and adopting a combination of Human led A.I. However, in the era of digital business and the modern digital landscape, these methods do not scale and inhibit faster decision making. Traditionally, Penetration Testing is being conducted either manually using a consultant-based model or with automation using a software tool. Penetration Testing, otherwise known as PenTesting, is a process for identifying the weaknesses in an organization’s digital environment intended to elevate security posture and build resilience against cyber-attacks. ![]() Updated On 6 March, 2023 Decode Black Box, Grey Box and White Box in PenTestingīefore we dive into answering this complex question, let’s first take a moment to understand what Penetration Testing is. ![]()
