API Penetration Testing

An Application Program Interface (API) is a critical set of definitions and protocols used for building and integrating application software. APIs act as a contractual agreement between two applications, enabling seamless communication through requests and responses. Their proper functioning is essential for efficient and reliable application interactions.

Overview

What is API Penetration Testing?

API testing plays a pivotal role in software development, evaluating the functionality, reliability, performance, and security of relevant APIs. This testing process involves using specialised software to send calls to API endpoints and analysing the system's responses. By verifying the soundness of architectural logic within a short time, API testing ensures the stability and effectiveness of the interfaces.

A comprehensive API testing strategy enhances the overall quality of the application and fosters trust among users and other connected systems. It facilitates early detection and resolution of potential flaws, preventing costly errors and data breaches. Prioritising thorough API testing in the software development lifecycle leads to robust and secure applications, delivering optimal performance and a superior user experience.

Contact Us

Initial consultation.

Upon receipt of your enquiry, we will promptly arrange an initial consultation with you to delve into your company’s goals, objectives and security concerns. This conversation will provide us with the opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of your organisation’s individual requirements, enabling us to tailor our recommendations precisely to your needs.

Scoping meeting

During our scoping meeting, we will cover the systems, applications, networks and assets earmarked for testing with a focus on understanding the criticality of these assets to your business. If there are specific concerns around penetration testing these can be discussed and can be used to establish boundaries to the engagement (i.e. testing window, out of scope systems, prohibited actions).

We will define communication channels and contacts for findings, updates, and issues. Lastly, we will outline the format of the penetration testing report, specifying technical depth, executive summary and recommended actions.

Following the scoping meeting a statement of work along with commercials will be sent over for review and approval. At this point the test can be booked in for your preferred dates.

Security testing takes place

You will remain in regular contact with your Exosec consultant throughout the testing process. Your assigned tester will commence the production of your organisation’s cyber security report.

Remediation recommendations

We will share and discuss your comprehensive cyber security report. Your report will include well-defined and actionable recommendations to assist your team in efficiently addressing the identified vulnerabilities.
