Application Security Testing in Belgium

Secure your applications from design to deployment. We test web apps, APIs, and mobile applications using SAST, DAST, and manual code review.

Applications are the primary target for modern cyber attacks, making application security testing essential for protecting your business and customer data. ICTLAB provides comprehensive application security testing using both automated tools (SAST, DAST) and manual code review to identify vulnerabilities like SQL injection, XSS, authentication bypasses, and business logic flaws. We test web applications, mobile apps, and APIs at any stage of the development lifecycle.

Included with test report

How We Work

1

Application Profiling & Scoping

Understand application architecture, technology stack, authentication flows, and critical business logic to plan testing approach.

2

Automated & Manual Testing

Execute SAST/DAST scanning, perform manual penetration testing of business logic, and conduct security code review of critical components.

3

Reporting & Developer Support

Document findings with proof-of-concepts, provide remediation guidance, and support development teams with security questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between SAST and DAST?

SAST (Static Application Security Testing) analyzes source code without running the application, finding coding errors and vulnerabilities. DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing) tests the running application like an attacker would. Both are valuable and complementary.

When should application security testing be performed?

Ideally, security testing should happen throughout the development lifecycle. SAST can run on every code commit, DAST in staging environments, and full penetration testing before major releases and annually for production applications.

Do you test mobile applications?

Yes, we test both iOS and Android applications including client-side security, API communication, data storage, authentication mechanisms, and platform-specific vulnerabilities. Testing covers both the mobile app and its backend APIs.
