InsightAppSec

InsightAppSec is a cloud-based application security testing solution. It is designed to help organizations identify and remediate security vulnerabilities in their web applications. The platform offers dynamic application security testing (DAST) capabilities, meaning it tests applications while they are running. This approach simulates attacks that a real-world attacker might use to find common web security flaws such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and insecure direct object references.

InsightAppSec is part of the broader Rapid7 portfolio, a company known for its cybersecurity solutions. The service aims to provide continuous security assessment throughout the application development lifecycle. It can integrate with development workflows to help security teams and developers collaborate on fixing vulnerabilities early. The platform provides detailed reports on identified vulnerabilities, including evidence of the exploit and remediation guidance. This helps development teams understand the risks and take appropriate steps to secure their applications before deployment or while they are in production. The automated nature of the testing allows for frequent scans, promoting a proactive security posture.
