Customer portals, transaction screens, or an internal ERP web layer create data-leak and account-takeover risk when session, authorization, or input validation breaks. Web application security testing uses OWASP topics as a reference and looks for injection, broken access control, weak session handling, and business-logic flaws in authorized scenarios. A new release, a payment integration, or a form opened to external users raises the need. An automated scanner alone is not enough; how the application binds to your business rules is at the center of the test.
TARGON plans web pentest around real use. Scope is cut by screen, role, and environment (pre-production or limited production); evidence is kept repeatable; remediation is written in language developers can use. It is not mixed with API testing or vulnerability scanning; those are separate items if needed. Taking web application testing from TARGON puts pentest discipline and corporate delivery (authorization, report, retest if contracted) in one place.
