Penetration Testing and Vulnerability Assessment to Improve the Web Application's Security

Abstract

the rapid advancement of machinery, whether mobile or computer systems, has resulted in more advanced and efficient Windows, Web, and mobile applications, but it has also increased system complexity. The number of individuals who use web applications and the quantity of web applications on the market have both increased dramatically in recent years. Complex cyber-attacks can compromise the majority of web applications Web application testing has grown more important to defend web applications from cyber assaults and online hazards. In online application development, vulnerability assessment and penetration testing are critical security tasks. The practice of finding security flaws in online applications is known as vulnerability assessment [3].

Penetrationtesting is a method of determining if an application is secure by exploiting its weaknesses. It's possible to gain unauthorized access or engage in other hostile behavior. Therefore figuring out which flow is the most dangerous application is very important. It aids in the safeguarding of systems and data against illegal access and breaches. This paper reviews different vulnerability assessments and Penetration testing are [4].
