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 Reflectiz Reflectiz is the AI-powered web exposure company trusted by hundreds of global organizations, including Cox Communications, DAZN, Village Roadshow, Leeds United, and lastminute.com, to continuously monitor and protect everything that executes on their live websites. The platform observes real browser execution, not configuration, capturing every script, pixel, and third or fourth-party tool as it runs, and using AI to detect malicious code, unauthorized data flows, and behavioral change the moment it happens. It deploys with zero code changes, zero agents, and no access to customer data, typically live within one business day. One engine powers four hubs, each answering a different question about the same website: Security Hub detects web threats that traditional tools like WAFs miss, from Magecart skimming to AI-generated scripts. Privacy Hub verifies user data is only collected and shared as authorized, supporting GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and PIPEDA. Offensive Hub runs continuous, agentic penetration testing at up to 10x the capacity of manual pentesting. PCI Module automates PCI DSS 4.0.1 Requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1 with audit-ready evidence. Together they give Security, Privacy, Compliance, and Digital teams one 360-degree view of web risk instead of four disconnected tools. Reflectiz's Exposure Rating draws on an intelligence database built from monitoring millions of websites, and the platform has been recognized with a 2026 Fortress Cyber Security Award, a 2025 Top InfoSec Innovator award, and G2 High Performer status. Customers consistently cite fast, zero-touch onboarding and hands-on expert support alongside the platform. 33 Ratings Visit Website Criminal IP ASM Criminal IP ASM delivers a threat intelligence-powered approach to attack surface management by combining continuous asset discovery with deep threat analysis across IPs, domains, OSINT, and associated infrastructure.
