Comprehensive Endpoint Assessment

Safeguard sensitive data by ensuring your APIs are resilient against abuse, unauthorized access, and data exposure.

Alignment to OWASP API Security Top 10

Get comprehensive testing guided by the OWASP API Security Top 10 to effectively address all critical vulnerabilities.

Protect Microservices Interactions

Enhance security by identifying and addressing risks in API access controls and integration vulnerabilities within microservices.
OUR APPROACH

API pentests tailored to your architecture

Our experts deliver targeted security assessments for all modern APIs, including RESTful, GraphQL, and SOAP, uncovering unique vulnerabilities specific to each architecture. Our proprietary methodology ensures comprehensive, expert-led testing across your entire API attack surface:

  • Identify and catalog all API endpoints and map authentication flows to establish a prioritized attack surface.
  • Manually assess API workflows to define user roles, permissible actions, and prioritize high-risk operations.
  • Check for flaws using the OWASP API Security Top 10 and the ASVS standard.
  • Test from the perspective of a legitimate user to evaluate token handling and potential privilege escalation.
  • Conduct specialized testing for injection flaws, access control evasion, and business logic abuse that automated tools often miss.
  • All findings are reported and triaged in real-time via the Cobalt platform, including detailed remediation guidance.
