A security assessment can identify a wide range of vulnerabilities, including SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), buffer overflow, insecure authentication mechanisms, broken access controls, insecure data storage, and configuration issues. The assessment also evaluates how your application handles user input, manages sessions, and protects sensitive data like passwords and credit card information. By identifying these vulnerabilities, businesses can take corrective measures to prevent attacks, unauthorized access, and data breaches, thereby protecting their reputation and user trust.
