API & Application Security Testing

API & Application Security Testing

In today’s digital world, web applications, mobile apps, and APIs are the backbone of business operations — but they also present some of the most targeted attack surfaces. Obventum’s API and Application Security Testing services identify vulnerabilities that could expose sensitive data, disrupt services, or allow unauthorized access. Our assessments are fully manual, precise, and tailored, providing real insight into how attackers might exploit your digital assets.

Scope of Testing

• Web Application Testing – We evaluate applications for weaknesses including authentication flaws, session management issues, cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, business logic vulnerabilities, and API misuse. Our testers follow OWASP Top 10, SANS CWE, and other leading frameworks to ensure critical threats are covered.
• Mobile Application Testing – Both iOS and Android apps are assessed for insecure data storage, weak encryption, API communication flaws, and permission misconfigurations. We also simulate attacks targeting local and remote storage, inter-app communication, and authentication workflows.
• API Security Testing – APIs often expose sensitive endpoints and functionality. We test for improper authentication, excessive data exposure, injection vulnerabilities, rate-limiting bypasses, and insecure logic flows. This ensures your backend services are as secure as the front-facing application.

Types of Assessments

• Blackbox Testing – We simulate attacks from an external perspective, without prior knowledge, revealing vulnerabilities that are visible to attackers from the outside.
• Greybox Testing – With partial system knowledge, we uncover flaws that could be exploited by an attacker with insider information or limited access.
• Whitebox Testing – Full access to source code, architecture, and configurations enables deep analysis, uncovering hidden logic flaws, insecure functions, and systemic weaknesses.

Real Value for Organizations

• Protect Sensitive Data – Prevent data breaches that could expose client information, intellectual property, or confidential business logic.
• Ensure Business Continuity – Identify vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to disrupt services or take applications offline.
• Strengthen API Ecosystems – Secure critical integrations with partners, mobile apps, and third-party services.
• Prioritize Remediation Efforts – Our detailed findings and risk ratings allow technical teams to fix the most critical issues first, reducing business risk efficiently.

Methodology & Frameworks
Obventum follows industry-leading offensive security frameworks to ensure thorough, actionable testing:

• OWASP Top 10 / Mobile Top 10 – Covering the most common and severe web and mobile vulnerabilities.
• PTES & OSSTMM Principles – Structured, measurable penetration testing processes.
• MITRE ATT&CK & NIST Guidelines – Mapping potential exploits to known threat tactics and standards.

Fully Manual & Expert Testing
Automated scanners are valuable, but only manual testing uncovers subtle vulnerabilities that tools miss — logic flaws, chained exploits, and unexpected attack paths. Obventum’s team of experienced ethical hackers performs in-depth, hands-on assessments to reveal real-world risks and validate potential impacts.

Deliverables & Reporting
At the conclusion of each engagement, Obventum provides a detailed, actionable report, including:

• Step-by-step evidence of vulnerabilities discovered.
• Risk ratings and potential business impact.
• Recommendations for remediation and security improvements.
• Strategic advice for preventing future exploits and improving application security culture.

Benefits of API & Application Security Testing with Obventum

• Identify hidden vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them.
• Protect sensitive client and corporate data.
• Strengthen application and API security posture.
• Receive actionable reports to guide remediation and risk management.

Obventum ensures your applications and APIs are not only functional but resilient against real-world attacks. By simulating what attackers can do and providing clear, prioritized guidance, we help organizations protect their most critical digital assets while maintaining trust, reliability, and operational continuity.
