Web Application Security

Securing Your Web Applications

Assuring the security of your web applications means being able to test, find, repair, and prevent vulnerabilities throughout each app lifecycle — from design and development to deployment, upgrades, and maintenance. Security testing encompasses measures to improve the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your web applications.
NorthState Technology Solutions helps you to assess your security posture to maximize your application ROI. Our best-in-class engineers, who hold 17 advanced specializations and certifications, define metrics for your decision makers and operations teams to plan and prioritize investments. This is accomplished through three types of services.

Web Penetration Testing

Web application penetration testing, or pen testing, is a specialized skill that requires discipline and creativity. Automated and manual tests seek to circumvent workflow controls and bypass user role limitations, emulating hackers and addressing “what if” scenarios. Web app pen testing is customized to your environment and includes a search for the OWASP Top 10 Web Vulnerabilities (SQL Injection, Cross Site Scripting and Request Forgeries, etc.).

Risk Assessment

Implementing and maintaining an effective control and risk management environment requires you to address both system constraints and continuous change. Web developers are all too often under pressure to deliver dynamic functionality within tight deadlines. NorthState supports your web projects with risk assessments that include intensive employee interviews to identify potential attack vectors and assess controls to prevent or detect such attacks.

Consultation

Our consultants also help you to plan and deploy web applications across your organization with a full suite of information security architecture services. This methodology includes inventory and assessment of existing controls, engaging with subject matter experts, mapping to industry best practices (e.g., CIS, ISO, HITRUST, NIST, etc.), and documenting findings and recommendations. Unlike other companies, NorthState not only proves exploitability, but shows your team how to prevent the problem from happening again.
