Web Application Penetration Testing (WAPT)

Shield Your Web Presence from Invisible Threats

What It Is and Why It’s Important

Web Application Penetration Testing involves a simulated cyberattack against a web-based application to identify and exploit security weaknesses. With web apps serving as the front-facing gateways to business operations, data, and customer services—especially in the UAE’s digital-first economy—securing them is non-negotiable.

This test uncovers vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), authentication flaws, and insecure configurations that attackers often exploit. For businesses handling sensitive data or financial transactions, it’s a critical layer of proactive defense.

Common Mistakes or Gaps Organizations Make

Assuming HTTPS means complete web security.
Not testing third-party plugins or integrations
Using outdated libraries or CMS platforms.
Ignoring custom business logic vulnerabilities.
Delaying patch cycles or treating fixes as low-priority.

How Intracyber Helps

Intracyber’s Web Application Penetration Testing is tailored to the unique architecture of your application—whether it’s a single-page app, traditional web platform, or complex enterprise portal. We leverage a combination of automated scanning tools and meticulous manual testing techniques performed by certified security experts.

We also align with OWASP Top 10 risks and UAE compliance standards like SIA (NESA), ADSIC, and TDRA, helping clients avoid both breaches and regulatory penalties.

Our Approach & Methodology

Discovery

Map out app functionality, tech stack, and entry points.

Reconnaissance

Identify potential areas of interest through information gathering.

Automated Scanning

Identify known vulnerabilities and outdated components.

Manual Testing

Probe for logic flaws, privilege escalation, session hijacking, etc.

Authentication Testing

Validate login, MFA, password reset flows, and token handling.

Business Logic Testing

Ensure that workflows cannot be manipulated for unauthorized actions.

Report & Recommendations

Provide a risk-based report and remediation plan.

Revalidation

Retest to ensure the application is secure after fixes.

Real-World Relevance & Impact

A regional healthcare platform in Abu Dhabi relied on Intracyber to test its web application. We identified a critical IDOR (Insecure Direct Object Reference) issue that could have exposed patient records. The client patched the vulnerability within 48 hours, avoiding legal liabilities under UAE data privacy laws.
