Web Application Penetration Testing (WAPT)

Owing to the ubiquity, ease of access, cost effectiveness and provision of service, the Web Application has emerged as a driving force of adoption. With the advent of web 2.0 and web 3.0 technologies, web application has evolved to be more advanced, quicker in response times than that of desktop applications. Also, the user interfaces are getting more and more spontaneous and sophisticated. Today Web Applications are more functional and flexible, which increases their value to business operations. It is this wide acceptability and adaptability of web applications that make them an enticing target for malicious users. The increasing complexity and use of new technologies has opened doors to greater and more devastating security risks.
