Web Application Testing

At Precursor, we understand the importance of web applications and the impact security breaches can have on an organisation. We work closely with our clients to ensure that their applications are secured against a wide array of threats.

What is Web Application Testing?

Web Application Penetration Testing systematically identifies and exploits vulnerabilities in traditional web applications, fortifying their security. The process includes reconnaissance, scanning, enumeration, exploitation, and reporting.

Regular testing is vital for adapting to the evolving threat landscape, ensuring ongoing security, and complying with regulations, reinforcing the overall cybersecurity strategy.
