Web application security testing is an increasingly important – but often overlooked – part of the software testing process. In today’s world where access to company information and applications from anywhere else in the world at any time is an expectation, organisations are increasingly providing opportunity for external intruders to compromise business critical systems and gain access to sensitive customer data, financial records and other confidential information.
Thorough web application security testing mitigates these risks and protects organisations through the identification and resolution of vulnerabilities that leave your systems prone to attacks. Application security testing mitigates this risk by automated “hacking” at the application level to expose vulnerabilities and flaws in the application code or platform, as distinct from network level vulnerabilities.
With JDS security offerings, organisations can now take charge of protecting themselves in the online world.

- Web application security assessments and advice. Ranging from high level assessments of application technology and architecture through to detailed and comprehensive assessment of application vulnerabilities and risks, JDS are able to combine world leading technology, thorough security testing processes and deep technical consulting expertise to conduct the level of security assessment that you require.
- Externally driven web penetration tests by combining the use of industry leading tools such as HP WebInspect and complementary expert manual interrogation of application that have been deployed or are in the process of being deployed.
- On site web application security testing services embedded as part of the SDLC. Technology never stands still, and in the world of IT security new intrusion methods are being developed regularly.

- PCI-DSS compliance scanning. Through the application of automated technologies, JDS can provide you with an assessment of your IT applications compliance with PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards) and what needs to be undertaken to achieve full compliance with the standard.
