WebApp Guard Security Checks-WebApp Security Testing

Example

Automated tools scan a web app’s interfaces to detect vulnerabilities like SQL injection risks in input forms.

Scenario

For instance, in a scenario where a developer deploys a new public-facing application form, the tool scans the form inputs to ensure that they properly sanitize and validate user input, thereby preventing malicious data from compromising the database.

Example

Tracks and logs all security-related events within the web application, such as login attempts and data access.

Scenario

When an unauthorized attempt is made to access the admin panel of a web application, the security audit trail records this attempt along with IP address and timestamp, enabling administrators to track and respond to potential threats.

Example

Monitors web applications for unusual activity indicating potential security threats, instantly alerting administrators.

Scenario

If an unusually high number of requests are made to a server from a single IP address, suggesting a possible DDoS attack, real-time monitoring tools can alert the IT team who can then take immediate action to mitigate the attack.

Example

Generates reports detailing the security posture of the web application against industry standards and regulations.

Scenario

A healthcare provider uses WebApp Guard to generate reports that assess how their patient data management system aligns with HIPAA regulations, ensuring that they maintain compliance and avoid penalties.
