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. 295 Ratings Visit Website Rocket z/Assure VAP Rocket z/Assure Vulnerability Analysis Program (VAP) is a specialized mainframe security solution that scans and analyzes vulnerabilities in IBM z/OS operating system code to help organizations identify, assess, track, and mitigate security risks that could expose critical data. Unlike traditional vulnerability tools that focus on application layers, z/Assure VAP conducts thorough and precise binary code scanning at the OS level to detect zero-day and integrity-based vulnerabilities without relying on signature files, using an Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST)-style approach to pinpoint real weaknesses and guide developers to the exact code requiring remediation. It generates detailed vulnerability disclosure reports that provide actionable insights and clear paths to fix issues, enabling teams to prioritize risk, strengthen defenses, and make mainframe vulnerability management a repeatable part of IT security and compliance programs. 1 Rating Visit Website ESET PROTECT Advanced ESET Protect Advanced is a comprehensive cybersecurity solution designed for businesses of all sizes.
