How Penti tests for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities
Penti’s OWASP top 10 penetration testing process uses AI-driven reconnaissance, attack simulation, and real-time validation to uncover vulnerabilities. Each vulnerability is tested with custom AI-generated payloads designed to mimic actual hacker methodologies
Penti’s agentic AI combined with the oversight of human security experts flag issues and provide product context to each finding, mapping vulnerabilities to affected users, data flows, and potential impact on web application security.
Our pentests cover all the 10 OWASP categories:
Broken Access Control
AI-driven pentesting can help you effortlessly detect cross-site request forgery or insecure storage of your sensitive data.
Cryptographic Failures
Penti scans for both inadequate encryption strength and weak or hardcoded cryptographic keys and then identifies any broken or risky cryptographic algorithms.
Insecure Design
Our pentesters simulate attacks to uncover insecure design patterns before it’s too late and your app is in production.
Security Misconfiguration
Penti’s agentic AI performs code-level exercises that simulate misconfigurations and scans for exposed secrets, misconfigured files, and broad permissions.
Vulnerable and Outdated Components
Our human security experts search for vulnerable and outdated components that pose known and potential security risks, and help you take action to both patch and evaluate them.
Identification and Authentication Failures
Penti rapidly identifies broken authentication vulnerabilities, improper authentication, and key steps that are missing in authentication.
Software and Data Integrity Failures
Penti’s expert-led pentests give your security and dev teams in-depth insight on how to best secure CI/CD pipelines and detect deserialization flaws.
Security Logging and Monitoring Failures
Penti delivers a comprehensive pentest report so that devs can analyze test logs with security experts and identify potential vulnerabilities.
Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
Penti’s AI-driven pentests not only pinpoint server-side request forgery vulnerabilities, but demonstrate how these vulnerabilities can be exploited as well as offer steps for remediation.
What you gain with Penti’s AI-led OWASP testing
Penti’s unique blend of automation and human expertise ensures that nothing gets missed and your team always knows the next step.

FAQ
How does OWASP penetration testing help secure web applications?
It identifies the most critical security risks based on OWASP’s globally recognized categories. By simulating real-world attacks, OWASP top 10 pentests identify vulnerabilities, such as injection or broken access control, before attackers can exploit them. OWASP pentesting ensures strong application security during development cycles.
When should organizations conduct an OWASP penetration test?
The optimal time to run an OWASP pentest is before releasing new features, after major code changes, or when onboarding enterprise clients that require proof of compliance. Continuous testing is highly recommended for products with frequent updates or those that handle regulated data.
How often should we carry out OWASP Top 10 pentesting?
A minimum of once per quarter is recommended for OWASP pentesting. However, modern DevSecOps teams run OWASP testing continuously using AI-driven tools like Penti to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced between releases.
How long does an OWASP penetration test usually take?
Using traditional methods, it can take 2–4 weeks. With Penti’s agentic AI, the testing process begins instantly and produces preliminary results rapidly, with final validated reports delivered within days.
Who should perform OWASP penetration tests?
Testing is best conducted by a combination of ethical hackers and automated tools. Penti’s hybrid approach ensures deep technical coverage with expert validation, making it ideal for teams that don’t have in-house security staff.
How does OWASP pentesting align with compliance requirements like PCI DSS or ISO 27001?
Several compliance frameworks require demonstration of risk analysis and security testing based on recognized standards such as OWASP Top 10. Penti’s reports are mapped to these frameworks, helping organizations meet mandatory testing requirements.
What does a penetration testing report include regarding OWASP Top 10 risks?
Reports include vulnerability descriptions, severity ratings, affected endpoints, reproduction steps, and remediation guidance. Executive summaries and technical breakdowns ensure clarity and transparency for developers and stakeholders.
Can Penti detect all OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities?
Yes. Penti is specifically designed to test against all OWASP Top 10 categories using agentic AI and manual validation to prevent false positives. It continuously updates its attack models based on the latest OWASP releases and real-world data.
