Web Application Security
As one of the leading consultants in the field of cyber and application security, SEC Consult offers web application security assessment using current industry standards as one of its core services. This helps companies to assess and, if necessary, improve the security level of their web-based solutions.
Comprehensive Security for Web Applications
Compatible with Current Industry Standards
The web application assessments are conducted according to industry standards like the Web Security Testing Guide (WSTG) by OWASP. This standard builds the base for every assessment, while of course if it is necessary, we will also go the extra mile. This makes the formats of the security assessments predictable while not compromising in coverage or in-depth analysis.
Testing of Web Authentication Protocols
Due to rising security and usability requirements web authentication protocols are becoming more and more sophisticated. Our web security experts have thorough knowledge of current authentication standards like, OAuth 2.0, SAML or U2F/FIDO2 which – when implemented correctly - will significantly raise the bar for attackers.
