Credentials, sessions and token lifecycles
Examine OAuth, OIDC, JWTs and API keys alongside token expiry and renewal, session binding and account recovery.
Pen testing for UAE organisations
Assess your API security
API penetration testing for UAE businesses
For teams operating in the Emirates, we assess REST, GraphQL and backend APIs to establish where attacks can succeed. Coverage spans authentication, authorisation, tokens, object access, schemas, request limits and sensitive data flows.
Where APIs expose your systems
Put the data routes behind your products to the test
Authorisation checks, object permissions, token processing, schemas and business rules can conceal API weaknesses. We verify which endpoint issues are exploitable, giving your backend team a concrete route to remediation.
Who can access each object?
Check role and tenant boundaries, object permissions and escalation routes, including BOLA, BFLA and IDOR weaknesses.
Schemas and untrusted input
Probe injection, mass assignment, schema bypass and type confusion; assess uploads, GraphQL misuse and exposure of sensitive data.
Abuse of limits and business workflows
Evaluate throttling and replay resistance, enumeration and automated abuse, together with workflow changes, payments and approval paths.
REST, GraphQL and connected backends
The assessment can include REST and GraphQL endpoints, backend services, partner interfaces, webhooks and APIs supporting mobile apps.
Testing against OWASP API risks
Validate broken authentication, BOLA, excessive data exposure, mass assignment, injection, SSRF and unsafe API consumption.
Findings tied to the affected endpoints
Each report connects evidence to endpoints and roles, with appropriate test payloads, impact, remediation advice and support for retesting.
How the assessment progresses
Map endpoints, verify attacks, confirm the fixes
01
Agree the API environments, scope and engagement rules, then establish authentication methods, accounts, roles, documentation and request limits.
02
Build a map of endpoints, schemas, objects and roles, following data and authentication paths through integrations and high-risk workflows.
03
Investigate OWASP API risks through authorisation checks, token handling, input validation, rate limits, data exposure and logic-abuse tests.
04
Rank verified findings by impact and provide endpoint evidence, suitable payloads and practical correction guidance.
05
Check the repairs and record remaining risk so backend and security teams have evidence for closing API vulnerabilities.
