Web applications power everything from online shopping to banking and internal business tools. But if your app isn’t secure, it becomes an easy target for attackers. That’s why Web Application penetration testing (pentesting) is essential. At FORTBRIDGE , we’ve worked with companies of all sizes to identify vulnerabilities before real attackers can exploit them. In this guide, we’re sharing 20 practical and beginner-friendly tips to help make your web app pentesting smarter, faster, and more effective. Before You Begin: Set Yourself Up for Success A solid setup avoids false starts, wasted time, and missed vulnerabilities. Before diving in: ·       Define your objective – Are you testing purely for security, or performance as well? ·       Get written permission – Always, even if it’s an internal system. ·       Choose the right tools – Start with Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, and Nmap. 20 Practical W...

Let’s face it—cyber threats are evolving fast. Hackers aren’t just working out of basements anymore. They’re using advanced tooling, automation, and now even artificial intelligence (AI). So the real question is— is your business ready for what’s coming next? At FORTBRIDGE , we believe AI in network penetration testing isn’t just a trend—it’s a necessity. If your business is online (and whose isn’t?), securing your network is more critical than ever. AI is already changing how we test and protect systems—and it’s only getting smarter. What Does AI Have to Do With Pentesting? Let’s break it down: ·       AI (Artificial Intelligence) is technology that learns from patterns and adapts over time. ·       Pentesting (Penetration Testing) is the practice of simulating cyberattacks to identify and fix weaknesses before real attackers exploit them. Now imagine combining the two. AI in Network Pentesting means your infrastructure is ...
