Test Your Defenses Before Someone Else Does

Application Penetration Testing

At Filament Information Security, we focus on uncovering vulnerabilities in the applications your staff, students, or community rely on every day.

Our application penetration testing evaluates both custom-built and off-the-shelf web and mobile applications to identify flaws that could expose sensitive data or disrupt operations.

Our Application Penetration Testing Process

Our process blends automated scanning with manual testing techniques to uncover issues missed by scanners alone.

  1. Pre-Engagement & Scoping
    Define application scope, testing rules, and data sensitivity.
  2. Reconnaissance
    Map application architecture and identify inputs, parameters, and endpoints.
  3. Threat Modeling & Vulnerability Analysis
    Test for flaws like broken authentication, injection attacks, and misconfigurations.
  4. Exploitation
    Safely exploit vulnerabilities to demonstrate risk and potential data exposure.
  5. Post-Exploitation
    Evaluate how far an attacker could move within the application (account takeover, data exfiltration, etc.).
  6. Reporting & Debrief
    Deliver actionable reports with executive summaries, technical findings, proof-of-concepts, and remediation guidance.

Application Vulnerabilities We Test For

  • Injection Attacks
    SQL, command, and XML injections.
  • Broken Authentication & Access Control
    Weak login, privilege escalation, session management flaws.
  • Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
    Persistent, reflected, and DOM-based injection flaws.
  • Insecure Configurations
    Default credentials, unpatched components, unnecessary services.
  • Data Exposure
    Improper handling of sensitive data such as PII, PHI, or payment details.
