CyCognito Active Security Testing dynamically applies payload-based testing techniques across your entire external attack surface, using both interactive application security testing and static application security testing techniques.
CyCognito finds external security vulnerabilities that are invisible to port scanners.
The security test context provided by active security testing removes the manual steps that slow your team down and provides defensible, evidence-based guidance to speed them up. Drawing from real-life cyber-attacks, CyCognito incorporates data about your business to find the issues that matter the most to you.
Web application security testing is essential. CyCognito's Active Security Testing uses dynamic application security testing (DAST) to find critical web application issues, including those from the web security testing guide and OWASP Top 10.

Introducing CyCognito Active Security Testing
With active security testing, you eliminate gaps in your testing coverage, uncover risk (not just issues), and reduce complexity and costs. Security audits and security controls play a pivotal role. Discover how active security testing helps Rule Your Risk™.
Core Features of Active Security Testing for Vulnerability
01
Go Beyond Banner-Grabbing
Identify vulnerabilities with precision. Get complete visibility into any vulnerability, weakness, or risk in your attack surface with payload-based active tests provide complete visibility into any vulnerability, weakness, or risk in your attack surface. Only active testing can provide insight into vulnerabilities and risks that fall outside of software-version based detection tools.
02
Continuous Testing of All Exposed Assets
Ensure security vulnerabilities are discovered quickly, no matter where they’re hiding on your attack surface. CyCognito fully and continuously tests all identified assets for issues like exposed web applications that lack input restrictions or are susceptible to injection attacks like XSS and SQLi, webforms that use default logins, vulnerable shared libraries, exposed sensitive data, misconfigured cloud environments, and more.
03
High Accuracy is Non-Negotiable
CyCognito’s Active Security Testing has a greater than 90% accuracy in identifying vulnerabilities, ensuring that your team only devotes time to issues that need your attention.
