Vulnerability Identification
Dynamically test web applications to identify runtime security vulnerabilities, including issues with input validation, session management, and access controls.
Security Posture Assessment
Evaluate the effectiveness of current security measures implemented within the application and identify potential areas for improvement.
Risk Analysis
Provide a prioritized list of identified vulnerabilities based on their potential impact and exploitability, aiding in efficient remediation planning.
Recommendations for Mitigation
Deliver practical, actionable recommendations for mitigating identified vulnerabilities and enhancing the application's security posture.
Methodologies
DAST is a useful tool that helps ensure thorough coverage and effective identification of vulnerabilities as part of a broader application security program.
- Use Burp Suite’s automated scanning capabilities to quickly identify a wide range of common vulnerabilities across the application.
- Complement automated scans with manual testing techniques to investigate complex areas of the application, uncovering logic flaws and other issues that automated tools cannot detect.
- Perform tests as authenticated users to assess the security of authenticated sessions and user-specific application workflows.
- Tailor testing efforts to the specific context and functionality of the application, ensuring that all significant security risks are identified and addressed.
Testing Scope
The scope of DAST with Burp Suite includes a broad range of potential security issues, including but not limited to:
Injection Flaws:
SQL injection, command injection, and other types of injection vulnerabilities.
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS):
Both reflected and stored XSS vulnerabilities.
Broken Authentication and Session Management:
Weaknesses in authentication and session management mechanisms that could allow unauthorized access.
Insecure Direct Object References:
Vulnerabilities that allow attackers to bypass authorization and access restricted resources.
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF):
Vulnerabilities that allow unauthorized actions on behalf of a logged-in user.
Our Deliverables
