AI-powered scanning with zero false positives for continuous security and compliance
Our web application security testing services provide full coverage, targeting vulnerabilities wherever they emerge
Astra's 7-Step Pentest Process
Astra's hacker-style pentest process combines years of pentester experience, cutting-edge AI, and deep knowledge of industry standards. Our battle-tested approach ensures comprehensive coverage, uncovering vulnerabilities that others miss.
Every pentest our security engineers perform feeds back into our DAST vulnerability scanner.
That means we're not just relying on known CVEs - we're continuously learning
from real-world hacks performed during pentests.

Web application security testing focuses on identifying vulnerabilities specific to web apps, such as injection flaws or session issues, while general app security encompasses broader protections, including mobile and desktop applications and backend systems.
A vulnerability scan automatically detects common security issues, while a penetration test is a manual, in-depth simulated attack that explores complex vulnerabilities and business logic flaws beyond automated scan findings.
Typically, scheduling requires 1 to 2 weeks’ lead time depending on scope and resource availability. Urgent testing requests can often be accommodated through prioritized scheduling or rapid-response teams.
We require formal authorization such as a testing agreement, safe-harbor clause, and scope documentation to ensure legal and operational safeguards are in place before initiating security testing activities.
High-change applications should ideally be tested after every major release, significant updates, or security patches, with regular testing intervals to rapidly identify and remediate emerging vulnerabilities.
