AppSec teams typically consider DAST to be difficult, time consuming and risky. CyCognito provides the test coverage, accuracy and frequency required to streamline appsec workflows and manage risk at scale.
Most DAST technologies require seed data and are handcuffed by complex manual steps.
Companies often struggle to find and monitor their hundreds or thousands of exposed web applications and APIs.
You can’t fix what you don’t know about. The CyCognito platform uses active reconnaissance to automatically map your global business structure and reveal all exposed apps and APIs. You have the peace of mind knowing your full application attack surface — no manual steps required.
Most AppSec programs leave more than 40% of their app attack surface untested.
DAST on production web apps reveals the risks missed during SAST and SCA dev testing.
CyCognito’s unauthenticated, black-box testing exposes hidden vulnerabilities like misconfigured HTTP/HTTPS headers, data exposure, and injection attacks. Many of these threats arise from software supply chain dependencies and only become visible at runtime, making DAST a critical layer of risk management.
Technologies such as WAF only protect where they are deployed.
Identifying gaps in security controls for exposed production web apps takes considerable time and effort.
CyCognito detects whether exposed apps are secured with real time protection, such as WAF. Combined with advanced business context such as e-commerce, your security teams are able to quickly work to resolve control coverage issues.
"[CyCognito] gave us great insights into our environment without needing to feed it data and teach it about ourselves.”
