The proverb, “A stitch in time saves nine,” encapsulates the core of web application security. Businesses must always be one step ahead of attackers and malicious actors to identify vulnerabilities, weaknesses, and misconfigurations in web applications and ensure they are patched and/or fixed before attackers can find and leverage them to orchestrate attacks.

What makes a good website penetration testing tool? Speed, agility, efficiency, or cost benefits? How about all of them? Hackers use automated tools to scan websites and apps before manually trying to exploit security loopholes. As the first step towards securing assets, you should do the same – only with better resources and before them.

Penetration testing is a pre-defined set of procedures used to identify any unknown weakness in the IT infrastructure of a business. It involves attempts to exploit vulnerabilities, which may exist in services and application flaws, operating systems, risky end-user behaviour, or improper configurations, to validate the efficacy of protection mechanisms and end-user observation of security policies.

In the realm of cybersecurity, there's a common analogy that likens the process to a health checkup. Vulnerability scanning, in this context, can be seen as a basic health screening. It's a preliminary step, offering a snapshot of potential issues within a system. It's like getting your blood pressure or cholesterol checked during a routine visit to the doctor. These tests are essential, providing a quick overview of potential health concerns. But they don't give the full picture.
