Keep the Security of Your Web Applications Continuously in Check
Web applications are constantly changing. New features, updates, and integrations with external systems continuously introduce new risks. Web Application Scanning (WAS) provides an automated way to check your web applications periodically or continuously for known vulnerabilities — fast, scalable, and ready to fit alongside your development pipeline.
What Is the Difference with Vulnerability Scanning?
Where vulnerability scanning examines your entire IT infrastructure for known CVEs — servers, network devices, endpoints — web application scanning focuses specifically on the security layer of your web applications.
The scanner crawls your application, understands the application logic, and tests for vulnerabilities typical to web environments: XSS, SQL injection, missing security headers. These are risks that a standard infrastructure scan will not detect.
What Does a Web Application Scan Do?
Our scanning tools crawl your web application and systematically test for vulnerabilities such as:
- SQL injection and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
- Missing or incorrect security headers
- Insecure cookies and information leakage
- Open redirects and insecure configurations
- Known CVEs in frameworks and libraries in use
When to Choose Web Application Scanning?
WAS is particularly suited for organisations that:
- Regularly deploy new features or code updates
- Want to monitor multiple web applications simultaneously
- Want to verify whether known vulnerabilities are present after each deployment
- Need to meet compliance requirements such as ISO 27001 or NIS2
What Do You Receive?
After each scan you will receive a clear report with identified vulnerabilities, risk levels, and concrete remediation recommendations — so your development team can get to work right away.
