Penetration Testing the Right Way

A pen test, or penetration test, mimics a cyber attack on your computer system in order to detect exploitable faults. In the context of online application security, penetration testing is commonly employed to enhance a web application firewall. (WAF).

Pen testing may comprise attempting to breach any number of application systems (for example, application protocol interfaces (APIs), frontend/backend servers) in order to identify vulnerabilities such as unsanitized inputs vulnerable to code injection attacks.

The findings of the penetration test may be utilized to fine-tune your WAF security rules and remediate discovered vulnerabilities.
