Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the ability to download an application without actually putting in the APK. It gives us an option to put the APK in if we want to but we can download it from the App Store and Play Store."

More NowSecure Pros →

"The product helps users to scan and fix vulnerabilities in the pipeline.""ZAP is easy to use. The automated scan is a powerful feature. You can simulate attacks with various parameters. ZAP integrates well with SonarQube.""The solution is scalable.""The vulnerabilities that it finds, because the primary goal is to secure applications and websites.""Automatic updates and pull request analysis.""It updates repositories and libraries quickly.""The most valuable feature is scanning the URL to drill down all the different sites.""The solution is good at reporting the vulnerabilities of the application."

Cons
"In this solution, there are two kinds of testing, static analysis, and dynamic analysis. There needs some improvement in testing with dynamic analysis because I have found it is not accurate"

More NowSecure Cons →

"The solution is unable to customize reports.""The technical support team must be proactive.""As security evolves, we would like DevOps built into it. As of now, Zap does not provide this.""It would be nice to have a solid SQL injection engine built into Zap.""It would be a great improvement if they could include a marketplace to add extra features to the tool.""It would be ideal if I could try some pre-built deployment scenarios so that I don't have to worry about whether the configuration sector team is doing it right or wrong. That would be very helpful.""Reporting format has no output, is cluttered and very long.""It needs more robust reporting tools."

    Overview

    NowSecure experts have conducted advanced pen testing for some of the world's most demanding organizations - including banks, insurance companies, government agencies, healthcare organizations, retail conglomerates, high-tech businesses, and more. Mobile apps are prone to sensitive data leakages and attacks, yet a manual test for just one app can take several weeks. To enable faster, more frequent testing, we built a test engine that successfully automates repeatable and time-consuming mobile appsec testing, remediation and reporting tasks. The result - the foundation of the NowSecure platform, which significantly reduces testing time and costs without compromising full depth of security coverage.

    The solution helps developers identify vulnerabilities in their web applications by actively scanning for common security issues.
