Bright Security DAST
San Rafael, California, USA
What it is
Bright Security DAST is a dynamic application security testing service that scans websites, web applications, APIs, servers and network devices; it also tests mobile applications on the server side. Checks cover issues including SQL injection, CSRF, XSS, XXE and business logic vulnerabilities. Bright says it validates findings in real time and does not report issues it cannot validate. Targets can be discovered with a crawler, HAR recording, GraphQL schema or OpenAPI schema, and authentication objects let scans reach login-protected resources. Teams can start scans from CI/CD pipelines and control them through the CLI or REST API without using the interface. The CLI's Repeater mode routes requests to local targets without exposing them to the internet. Deployment options include SaaS, private cloud and a Repeater scan proxy. Bright says scan data is held in memory temporarily and deleted after scanning, and that only the customer can access finding reports unless access is granted. Scan quantity is unlimited, but concurrent scans depend on the organization's engine count. The engine cannot handle CAPTCHA. Pricing is on request, with a demo available.
