Web application scanning
Another standalone security product is not the solution. Security leaders need visibility into the security of all their web applications, as part of a comprehensive Exposure Management solution, to gain a complete picture of their security and compliance posture.
Whether WAS is purchased as a standalone Tenable Vulnerability Management module or as a component of the Tenable One platform, Tenable Web App Scanning provides visibility into the security of all web applications. Available as a SaaS-based or on-premises solution, it provides secure and automated vulnerability scanning that easily scales to cover the entire portfolio, allowing security professionals to quickly assess their web applications without significant manual effort. Tenable Web App Scanning delivers high detection rates with minimal false positives, providing a true understanding of the cybersecurity risk in web applications.
Greater scanning confidence
It provides highly accurate results with minimal false positives and negatives, giving you and your developers confidence that your reports are accurate.
Reducing manual workload
Low-cost, automated scanning allows you to understand web application security threats across your environment without the need for manual effort and time.
Removing dead spots
Scan all your applications, including those built with modern web frameworks like JavaScript, AJAX, HTML5, and single-page applications.
Quick Security Assessments
Provide immediate value with fast scans to detect common safety hygiene issues that act in two minutes or less.
Limit product dispersion
Gain visibility into real-world cyber threats across the entire modern attack surface with Tenable Cyber Exposure to reduce product complexity
Understand your web applications
Tenable Web App Scanning helps you understand the page structure and layout of your web applications. A quick overview scan provides essential information to help you prepare a complete application assessment.
Advanced dashboard capabilities
Tenable Web App Scanning dashboards provide at-a-glance visibility into scanned web applications. This allows you to identify vulnerabilities over time based on risk level, OWASP Top 10 security issues, and descriptions of all vulnerabilities with detailed information for developers. Preconfigured summaries allow you to share critical, business-level details with team management. Customizable dashboards help clearly communicate the application security metrics that matter most to your team.
Secure web application scanning
To prevent delays and performance disruptions, it’s important to define critical parts of web applications that are safe to scan, as well as define other parts that should never be scanned. With Tenable Web App Scanning, you can exclude parts of a web application from scanning by specifying URLs or file extensions, ensuring the scanner’s non-invasive nature.
Automated web application scanning
With the shortage (and cost) of security specialists, it’s important to find solutions that offer automation to help mitigate asset insecurity. Tenable Web App Scanning allows you to quickly and easily assess all your web applications with a highly automated solution that reduces manual effort.
Coverage of modern web application frameworks
Older web app scanners can’t keep up with the explosion of modern apps these days. Tenable Web App can not only scan traditional HTML web apps but also supports dynamic web apps built using HTML5, JavaScript, and AJAX, including single-page apps.
Quickly detect cybersecurity issues
Tenable Web App Scanning provides two pre-built scan templates for common and potentially costly web application misconfigurations. SSL/TLS scanning checks for invalid, expiring, or improperly issued certificates, which trigger browser warnings and user bounce rates. Config Audit Scan checks for overly descriptive HTTP response information, which provides valuable reconnaissance information for potential attackers. Both scans complete in minutes for near-instant results.
Scanning third-party components
Web applications are made up of 85% third-party and open source components, including content management systems, web servers, and language engines, which often contain dangerous vulnerabilities. Tenable Web App Scanning can identify third-party components within an application and assess them for vulnerabilities as part of a comprehensive web application scan.
Advanced authentication support
Many web applications implement authentication to control access to sensitive user data, which can make scanning for application assessment difficult. Tenable Web App Scanning supports a wide range of authentication options, such as forms-based authentication, cookie-based authentication, NTLM support, and Selenium-based authentication, to meet most web application requirements.
Unified web application scanning and vulnerability management
Tenable Web App Scanning provides comprehensive and accurate web application scanning within the unified Tenable Cyber Exposure platform, providing complete visibility into your security and compliance posture. This helps eliminate data silos and minimize the burden of product sprawl, so you can understand cyber risk and protect your organization with a single solution.
