In their own words
Bright Security DAST
Bright Security DAST is a dynamic application security testing tool offered as SaaS. It tests websites, web applications, APIs including REST, SOAP, and GraphQL, servers, and network devices; it also tests mobile applications on the server side. Checks include 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, with less than 3% false positives among its verified findings. Target discovery can use a crawler, HAR recording, or GraphQL and OpenAPI schemas. Authentication objects let scans reach login-protected application and API resources. Teams can initiate 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. Bright lists SaaS, private cloud, and Repeater proxy deployment options. Scan quantity is unlimited, but the number of concurrent scans depends on the organization's engine count. Bright says scan data is held in memory temporarily and deleted after scanning. The tool cannot handle CAPTCHA during scans. Pricing is available on request, with a demo offered.
