What Happens If Someone Doesn’t Do Web Application Penetration Testing

Without penetration testing, a business’ website is potentially exposed to hackers all over the world, often requiring digital forensics to even know how the breach happened after the fact. It’s important to stay ahead of the game and figure out the weak spots in your business’ security before a hacker does.

A group of hackers managed to steal private information from over 350,000 Spotify users in 2020. The company had experienced previous data breaches prior to this, and the hackers found a loophole with the information already available to easily access Spotify’s data remotely.

Web application penetration testing looks for loopholes like this to prevent initial data breaches. Too often a company will not know that their database has been accessed because there was no malicious activity at the time, however, the exploit is published and companies open themselves up to multiple attacks from a global community of information terrorists.
