The complexity and high connectivity of the components used in Web pages means these applications have to process a large number of inputs. They offer pages that can answer to direct or indirect queries, manage user requests through a secure session, or send detailed data.

This proliferation of services increases the possibilities of malicious use of these services.

These attacks may, based on continuously evolving techniques, reveal unpublished information from a Website, run malicious scripts, obtain the identity of a user to access his personal data and transactions, undermine the integrity of the server, or access information of the database on which the Web site is based.

Kalimetrix proposes an evaluation to assess the vulnerabilities of a Web application, by measuring the performance of individual components within a set of control points representing attacks grouped by type of target or set of known vulnerabilities in the industry.

The report produces an analysis on several levels, allowing a synthetic view of the overall performance of the application, as well as a detailed breakdown of the sub-components.
