Web Application Testing

Securing your organization with web application testing

Web application testing is a critical tool in the defense against security threats to your software applications.

Web applications are frequently the weakest link in your organization’s security. Because they are available 24/7 to customers, employees and suppliers, they are also accessible around the clock to hackers who can exploit vulnerabilities to gain access to confidential back-end data.

Web application testing can help to improve security by fixing vulnerabilities before attackers can find them. But it’s hard to implement web application security testing solutions when they hinder the pace of software development. And many testing solutions require significant investment in hardware and software and are difficult to manage and maintain. That’s why, when choosing web application testing technology, a growing number of companies today are turning to Veracode.
