Astra Security
Claymont, Delaware, USA
What it is
Astra Security is a cloud-deployed continuous penetration testing platform for web applications, APIs, and cloud infrastructure. Its DAST scanner covers more than 15,000 test cases and supports authenticated scanning with MFA, SSO, and custom authentication flows. PTaaS combines certified human penetration testers with AI-assisted threat modeling, scheduled tests, and free rescans after remediation. API security discovers shadow, dormant, and undocumented APIs and checks them against API-specific attack cases. Cloud scanning supports AWS, Azure, and GCP with more than 400 checks. Listed integrations include Slack, Jira, Vanta, GitLab, Jenkins, Bitbucket, Azure, and CircleCI; configuration is workspace-level for Slack and Jira and per target for CI/CD and other integrations. Astra defines one target as a domain and its site-tree URLs. It states SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001 certification and provides a Trust Center. Plans start at $69 a month, with a seven-day trial for $7 and no credit card commitment.
