This year, in our Annual Pentest Report 2023, we are proud to present an in-depth analysis of the latest trends and vulnerabilities in application security based on our ethical hacking team’s comprehensive analysis of all application pentests performed in Belgium in 2022.
The demand for penetration tests has more than doubled compared to the previous year, indicating that enterprises are becoming more aware of the importance of regularly assessing their security posture with the help of professional and independent ethical hackers. In correlation, we have observed that the number of vulnerabilities discovered remains proportional to the number of projects.
Past editions
In the first two editions, we focused on Web and Mobile and APIs, respectively. However, this year, we have decided to shed light on the importance of including « Business Logic Flaws » in security analysis. These vulnerabilities are unique to each application and are challenging to automate, making them extremely hard to detect. Our report provides valuable insights into the key trends and how these vulnerabilities can be detected and addressed.
Who should read this report?
Our pentest report is an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding the current state of cyber security, the latest trends, and vulnerabilities. It can help organisations identify areas of weakness in their security posture and take steps to address them. Moreover, it can be used to raise awareness about the importance of cyber security. It can also justify security investments by demonstrating the potential impact of cyber-attacks and the effectiveness of security measures.
The report is of particular interest to CISOs, security executives, SOC teams, IT and security teams. As well as compliance and regulatory professionals, developers and product managers, and business leaders and stakeholders.
In conclusion, our Annual Pentest Report 2023 provides valuable insights into the current state of cyber security and the latest trends and vulnerabilities.
