Overview

Tenable Web Application Scanning (WAS) offers comprehensive vulnerability scanning for web applications, leveraging Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST). It helps organizations assess and manage risks by scanning web applications for security weaknesses, such as those identified in the OWASP Top 10. The platform enables security teams to detect vulnerabilities at any stage of the development lifecycle, ensuring that both security and development teams can address potential risks early. With real-time vulnerability tracking, automated scanning, and detailed risk analysis, Tenable Web App Scanning ensures businesses can respond swiftly to threats, reducing the likelihood of costly cyberattacks.
