Secure your web applications with comprehensive OWASP Top 10 testing from hellosec. Our expert cybersecurity team identifies and eliminates the most critical web application security risks using proven methodologies, AI-powered scanning tools, and detailed reporting that helps your business stay protected and compliant.

What is OWASP Top 10 Testing?

The OWASP Top 10 represents the most critical security risks facing web applications today. Our OWASP Top 10 testing service systematically evaluates your web applications against these globally recognized vulnerabilities to ensure your digital assets remain secure from cyber threats. This industry-standard framework helps organizations prioritize security efforts and protect against the most common and dangerous web application attacks.

The 2021 OWASP Top 10 Vulnerabilities We Test For:

1. Broken Access Control

We test how your application controls user permissions and access to sensitive data and functions. Our team identifies unauthorized access points, privilege escalation vulnerabilities, and insecure direct object references that could allow attackers to access restricted areas of your application.

2. Cryptographic Failures

Our experts examine how your application handles sensitive data encryption, password storage, and secure data transmission. We identify weak encryption methods, improper key management, and exposed sensitive information that could compromise user privacy and business security.

3. Injection Attacks

We thoroughly test for SQL injection, NoSQL injection, OS command injection, and LDAP injection vulnerabilities. Our AI-enhanced testing tools automatically scan for injection points while our security experts perform manual validation to ensure comprehensive coverage.

4. Insecure Design

Our team evaluates your application’s security architecture and design patterns. We identify fundamental security flaws in the application’s design that could lead to successful attacks, even when implementation is perfect.

5. Security Misconfiguration

We check for default configurations, unnecessary features, improper error handling, and missing security headers. Our automated scanners combined with manual verification ensure no security misconfigurations go unnoticed.

6. Vulnerable and Outdated Components

Using AI-powered vulnerability databases, we identify outdated software components, libraries, and frameworks with known security vulnerabilities. We provide detailed remediation guidance for updating or replacing vulnerable components.

7. Identification and Authentication Failures

We test authentication mechanisms, session management, password policies, and multi-factor authentication implementations. Our experts identify weaknesses that could allow attackers to compromise user accounts or assume false identities.

8. Software and Data Integrity Failures

Our team examines code signing, data validation, and CI/CD pipeline security. We identify vulnerabilities related to unsigned or improperly signed code, insecure deserialization, and compromised software supply chains.

9. Security Logging and Monitoring Failures

We evaluate your application’s ability to detect, log, and respond to security events. Our assessment identifies gaps in logging mechanisms and monitoring capabilities that could prevent timely detection of security breaches.

10. Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

We test for SSRF vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to send crafted requests from your server to access internal systems, cloud metadata services, or other network resources.
