Modern AppSec for Web App & API Security

Qualys Web Application Scanning (WAS) is an industry-leading cloud-based AppSec solution, providing DAST, API security, deep learning-based web malware detection and AI-powered scanning. Qualys WAS detects runtime vulnerabilities, OWASP Top 10, OWASP API Top 10, misconfigurations, PII & sensitive data exposures, web malware, compliance issues, drift from OpenAPI (OAS v3) specifications and more through automated end-to-end crawling and testing.

Benefits

Measure Web App & API Risks

Get complete discovery, inventory and custom tagging of every web app & API assets – internal, external, unknown, forgotten, shadow or rogue - across your environment, including on-prem, web apps, multi-cloud, API gateways, containers, microservices & more.

Communicate Risks in a Single View

Visualize key issues such as OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, API Top 10 risks, misconfigurations, PII and sensitive data exposures, deviations from OpenAPI Specification v3 (OAS) and prioritize them using TruRisk scoring to address the most critical issues first.

Eliminate Risks with Integrations

Enhance collaboration between AppSec, DevOps, and ITOps by prioritizing critical issues and enabling shift-left/shift-right practices using integrations with CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitHub, TeamCity, Bamboo) and ITSM tools (JIRA, ServiceNow, Splunk).

Detect PII Exposures

Detect PII collections and sensitive data exposures to comply with regulatory standards like GDPR, PCI DSS, HIPAA, etc.

Prevent Malware Attacks

Detect malware threats, including zero-day ones, using behavioral analysis & deep learning, to safeguard your business reputation.

Merge Third-Party Scans

Consolidate third-party manual PEN testing data (Burp, Zap, BugCrowd) with automated scans from WAS, CSAM, VMDR for a unified view.

Identify OpenAPI Drifts

Scan REST/SOAP APIs to detect any deviations from OpenAPI v3 specifications for standardized API documentation and interoperability.

Prioritize with TruRiskTM

Focus on risks based on overall business impact with TruRiskTM scoring using exploitability severity, business context, asset criticality and more.

Utilize AI-powered Scans

For large applications, use AI-assisted clustering to scan critical areas, achieving a 96% detection rate & 80% reduction in scan time.
