		Related Products Astra Pentest 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. 295 Ratings Visit Website Aikido Security Secure your code, cloud, and runtime in one central system.

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 Kasm Workspaces Kasm Workspaces streams your workplace environment directly to your web browser…on any device and from any location.

About Qualys CS features a vulnerability analysis plug-in for CI/CD tool Jenkins, and soon for other CI/CD tools including Bamboo, TeamCity, and CircleCI. You can download the plugins directly from within the container security module. With Qualys CS, security teams can participate in the DevOps process to gate vulnerable images entering the system, while developers get actionable data to remediate vulnerabilities. Configure policies for preventing vulnerable images from entering the repositories. Set policies based on criteria such as vulnerability severity, and specific QIDs. Review from within the plug-in a summary of the build with its vulnerabilities, information on patchable software and fixed versions, and image layers where it is present. Container infrastructure is immutable in nature, which means containers need to be identical to the images they are baked from.	About Root is a secure supply platform that delivers autonomous vulnerability remediation for container images and application dependencies, enabling organizations to eliminate security risks without disrupting existing workflows. Unlike traditional security tools that only detect or prioritize vulnerabilities, Root automatically fixes them in place, continuously patching CVEs across the versions teams already run. It integrates directly into current development pipelines and infrastructure, allowing companies to secure their software stack without rebuilding containers, forcing upgrades, or migrating registries. Powered by an automated remediation system, Root discovers the images and libraries in use, applies targeted fixes, and delivers secured artifacts ready for deployment while maintaining compatibility. Its Root Image Catalog provides continuously remediated container images, while the Root Library Catalog patches open source dependencies.
