About Astra’s Pentest is a comprehensive penetration testing solution with an intelligent automated vulnerability scanner coupled with in-depth manual pentesting. On top of 10000+ tests including security checks for all CVEs mentioned in the OWASP top 10, and SANS 25, the automated scanner also conducts all tests required to comply with ISO 27001, HIPAA, SOC2, and GDPR. Astra offers an interactive pentest dashboard that the user can use to visualize vulnerability analyses, assign vulnerabilities to team members, and collaborate with security experts. And if the users don’t want to get back to the dashboard every time they want to use the scanner or assign a vulnerability to a team member, they can simply use the integrations with CI/CD platforms, Slack, and Jira.
