Why Validate Your Web Application Security?

The effectiveness of Web Application Security Controls can degrade over time due to misconfigurations, evolving threats, and policy changes. Without continuous validation, organizations risk exposing critical applications to cyberattacks. Web security testing ensures that WAFs, IPS, Web Security Gateways (WSGs), and other defenses remain effective against real-world threats

  • Web applications are prime attack targets – Hackers exploit vulnerabilities to steal data, inject malware, and bypass authentication.

  • Security configurations degrade over time – Misconfigurations, outdated policies, and overlooked exceptions create security gaps.

  • Regulatory compliance requires ongoing validation – Many industries mandate regular security testing to meet compliance requirements.

  • Keeping up with evolving threats is essential – Cybercriminals constantly develop new attack techniques, making frequent validation crucial.
