30 Agosto 2023 - 8:00AM
Tenable®, the Exposure Management company, today announced web
application and API scanning in Tenable Nessus Expert, new features
that provide simple and comprehensive vulnerability scanning for
modern web applications and APIs.
Web application and API scanning in Nessus Expert are dynamic
application security testing (DAST) features that enable security
practitioners to proactively identify and assess web applications
and APIs for known vulnerabilities. This includes OWASP Top 10
vulnerabilities in custom application code and known
vulnerabilities found in third-party components.
Backed by Tenable Research, Nessus provides broad and accurate
vulnerability coverage for web applications and APIs – spanning web
application servers, content management systems, web frameworks,
programming languages and JavaScript libraries. The result is fewer
false positives and negatives, ensuring security practitioners know
the true risks in their applications.
“Web applications are under siege and the security practitioners
in charge of protecting them face numerous challenges,” said Glen
Pendley, chief technology officer, Tenable. “With Nessus Expert –
the gold standard in vulnerability assessment – we’re tackling the
crux of these challenges head on by widening visibility into web
applications and APIs. Whether the apps are running on-prem or in
the public cloud, Nessus Expert assesses their exposures and
provides security practitioners, consultants and pentesters with
actionable results quickly.”
Nessus Expert is the industry’s first vulnerability assessment
solution that spans traditional IT assets and the dynamic modern
attack surface, including the external attack surface, cloud
infrastructure and now, web applications and APIs. This new feature
and functionality enables security practitioners to:
- Set-up new web app and API scans and easily generate
comprehensive results
- Rapidly discover known vulnerabilities and cyber hygiene issues
using predefined scan templates for SSL/TLS certificates and HTTP
header misconfigurations
- Identify all web applications, APIs and underlying components
owned by a given organization
- Confidently and safely scan environments without disruptions or
delays
