Qualys Web Application Scanning (WAS) - An Overview
Qualys Web Application Scanning (WAS) is a cloud-based solution for Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST). It automates the processes of discovering, inventorying, and testing the security of web applications and APIs.
The platform conducts thorough scanning
The platform conducts thorough scanning across a variety of environments, including on-premises systems, multi-cloud setups, API gateways, containers, and microservices architectures.
Comprehensive Crawling and Testing for Security Vulnerabilities
It performs thorough end-to-end crawling and testing to uncover runtime vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and security weaknesses.
Key capabilities include:
- Detection of OWASP Top 10 and OWASP API Top 10 vulnerabilities
- Identification of sensitive data exposures to ensure compliance with regulations such as GDPR, PCI DSS, and HIPAA
- Deep learning-based detection of web malware
- Verification of API conformance against OpenAPI (OAS v3) specifications
- Prioritization of risks based on business impact, exploitability, and the criticality of assets
- AI-assisted scanning to enhance scan performance for large applications
- Integration with development workflows and IT Service Management (ITSM) systems
- Consolidation of third-party penetration testing data from tools like Burp Suite and OWASP ZAP
The solution empowers organizations to enhance security measures
The solution empowers organizations to carry out continuous scanning and vulnerability management, which helps to minimize their web application and API attack surface.
