API Penetration Testing

Many APIs handle sensitive data such as personal information, financial data, and authentication credentials and it can be vulnerable to various security threats such as injection attacks, broken authentication, insecure data transmission, and inadequate access controls. At Fortishield, we help you identify these vulnerabilities before they are exploited by malicious actors.

What is API Penetration Testing?

API penetration testing is a proactive approach to identifying vulnerabilities and weaknesses in APIs. APIs are essential for enabling communication and data exchange between different software applications, but they can also pose security risks if not properly secured. API penetration testing involves simulating real-world cyberattacks to assess the security posture of APIs and uncover potential entry points for unauthorized access, data breaches, and other security incidents.

Our API Penetration Testing Service

We offer a range of API penetration testing services tailored to meet your organization's specific needs and requirements. Our team of certified ethical hackers will conduct thorough assessments of your APIs, leveraging industry-leading tools and techniques to identify and exploit security vulnerabilities.

Our Testing Approach

• Scope Definition: We work closely with you to define the scope of the penetration testing engagement, including the target APIs, testing objectives, and any specific requirements or constraints

• Authentication and Authorization Testing: We assess the authentication and authorization mechanisms implemented in your APIs to ensure that only authorized users can access sensitive data and resources.

• Input Validation Testing: We evaluate how your APIs handle user input and data validation to prevent common security vulnerabilities such as injection attacks (e.g., SQL injection, LDAP injection) and buffer overflows.

• Session Management Testing: We examine how sessions are managed and protected in your APIs to prevent session fixation, session hijacking, and other session-related security issues.

• Testing as per OWASP guideline: While testing we always make sure to cover each and every vulnerability covered by OWASP.

• Reporting and Remediation: We provide comprehensive reports outlining the findings of the penetration testing engagement, including identified vulnerabilities, their potential impact, and actionable recommendations for remediation.
