Do we need multiple types of testing?

Yes. Modern attacks span infrastructure, identity, cloud, and applications. Comprehensive testing ensures gaps between controls are identified.

How often should we test?

At minimum annually — and after major infrastructure, application, or staffing changes. High-risk environments benefit from ongoing validation.

How is this different from a vulnerability scan?

Vulnerability scans identify known issues. We manually validate and chain vulnerabilities to demonstrate real-world exploitability.

Secure Applications Across Their Entire Lifecycle

Packetlabs helps you identify where real-world attackers could compromise web, API, mobile, cloud-native, and integrated platforms—before those weaknesses turn into incidents.

Secure Applications FAQs

Where should cybersecurity teams begin when securing applications?

Start with visibility. Before remediation or tooling decisions, teams need a clear understanding of how attackers could realistically compromise applications. An attacker-informed assessment establishes a baseline of exploitable risk across web, API, mobile, and cloud-connected services.

How does application testing support security operations teams?

What role do developers play in the application security journey?
