Case Study: Leading Tire Manufacturing Company strengthens web application security with QASource

Leading Tire Manufacturing Company - Customer Case Study

Leading Tire Manufacturing Company engaged QASource to evaluate the security of its web applications and protect a large database containing customer and PII data. The customer’s challenge was to uncover and eliminate security gaps across its deployed software fleet, so QASource performed focused web application security testing and penetration testing to assess exposure and risk.

QASource deployed a four-step security testing approach — reconnaissance, vulnerability scanning, exploitation, and reporting — and identified critical issues including SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), denial-of-service weaknesses, and paths for unauthorized access. QASource’s findings and remediation recommendations (input validation, XSS mitigation, stronger password policies) enabled the customer to address those vulnerabilities, improving application security and reducing the risk of data breaches, downtime, and reputational or financial loss.
