Web Security - CMS Vulnerability Scanning and Testing

A useful service included in Protection Basic and Protection Pro services is the vulnerability scan of a website created with a CMS (Content Management System) such as, for example, WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, depending on the version of the CMS installed. Thanks to this feature, it is possible to carry out an in-depth analysis of the website to highlight the extent of the vulnerabilities of the CMS used and plan the necessary actions to resolve them.

Another important service is the OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) scan, a useful tool to check for the most dangerous vulnerabilities in web applications.

OWASP is an important open-source project that studies application security. It is a non-profit organisation with an online community that produces articles, methodologies, documentation, tools and technologies freely available in the field of software security.

Scans can be permfomed manually and in an unlimited number, or they can be scheduled on a weekly basis.

At the end of the scan, the system will indicate which threats the analysed application/site is vulnerable to and assign a risk score to each of them.
It will also indicate possible or necessary actions to minimise the reported risk.
