Application Security Testing

Application Security Testing is a manual test-oriented security assessment service designed to detect vulnerabilities in web, mobile, and API applications. Supported by SAST, DAST, and SCA outputs, it helps development and security teams strengthen the secure software development lifecycle.

Application Security Challenges

The increasing speed, microservice architectures, and the need for continuous integration in today's software development processes turn security into an element that is pushed to the background. Organizations struggle to manage security sustainably between regulatory pressure and data breach risks. Invisible security vulnerabilities in web, mobile, and API-based applications, especially authentication, authorization, and business logic flaws, pose serious risks. The lack of systematic execution in manual security tests makes detecting such critical vulnerabilities difficult; SAST, DAST, and SCA outputs strengthen this process as supporting factors. The fragmented and manual progress of testing processes slows down scalable security evaluations and increases the risk of critical security vulnerabilities leaking into production environments.

Who can benefit?

  • Early detection of security vulnerabilities for development and DevOps teams
  • Integrated management of SAST, DAST, SCA, and manual testing processes
  • Minimizing critical security vulnerabilities before production for organizations
  • Centralized risk management in web and API applications for security teams

How Does Application Security Testing Work?

The application security testing service detects vulnerabilities with end-to-end analysis by placing manual security tests at the center of web, mobile, and API applications. The process is conducted in three main stages: discovery, analysis, and reporting, and it is supported by SAST, DAST, and SCA outputs.

Workflow

1. Discovery and Scoping

  • Application surface and attack area are determined.
  • Web, mobile, and API components are inventoried.
  • Authentication and authorization flows are examined.
  • Test scope is correlated with the threat model.

2. Security Analysis

  • Business logic and authorization flaws are tested.
  • Manual penetration controls are performed according to OWASP scenarios.
  • Attack scenarios are analyzed through impact assessment.
  • Static, dynamic, and dependency analysis outputs are evaluated.

3. Verification and Reporting

  • Findings are verified in a reproducible manner.
  • Risk scoring and classification are performed with CVSS and CWE.
  • Attack scenarios are verified in critical functions.
  • Remediation recommendations are provided for security flaws.

Continuous Security Approach

Application security tests are continuously improved with regularly updated threat scenarios. Adaptation to new vulnerability types is achieved, the testing scope is expanded, and security assessments are made repeatable.

Advantages

Manual Security Tests

Verifies business logic and authorization flaws that automated tools might miss through manual penetration tests.

SAST, DAST, and SCA Analysis

Analyzes security vulnerabilities comprehensively across source code, running applications, and dependency layers to reveal risks.

Risk-Based Prioritization

Prioritizes critical security vulnerabilities by classifying findings based on CVSS and CWE, making it easier to take action.

Single Point Security View

Reports and makes traceable all security findings across web, mobile, and API applications from a centralized location.
