Frequently asked questions
What is a web application penetration test, and how is it different from a vulnerability scan?
A vulnerability scan quickly identifies known weaknesses using automated tools, making it fast and scalable. A web application penetration test, on the other hand, goes further by adding expert validation, exploiting vulnerabilities, and uncovering complex logic flaws. Together, scans and pentests provide layered, complementary security coverage.
What does “Pentest as a Service (PTaaS)” mean for web apps?
Pentest as a Service brings ongoing penetration testing into a dedicated platform. For web apps, it combines expert-led testing, automated scans, real-time reporting, and easy collaboration. PTaaS ensures continuous visibility and faster remediation compared to traditional, one-time testing engagements.
How often should a web application be penetration tested?
Web applications should undergo penetration testing at least once a year, and after significant changes, such as the introduction of new features or infrastructure updates. Combined with regular vulnerability scans, this approach provides ongoing assurance, helping organizations stay protected against evolving threats and compliance requirements.
Do you validate automated findings manually to avoid false positives?
Yes. Astra’s vulnerability scans are uniquely designed with manual validation by security experts. Each flagged issue is reviewed before it is reported. This ensures scan results are accurate, actionable, and free from false positives, giving teams confidence to act immediately.
