    Overview

    SPAs, APIs, mobile—the evolution of application technology is measured in months, not years. Is your web application security testing tool designed to keep up? AppSpider lets you collect all the information needed to test all the apps so that you aren’t left with gaping application risks.

    Our dynamic application security testing (DAST) solution crawls to the deepest, darkest corners of even the most modern and complex apps to effectively test for risk and get you the insight you need to remediate faster. With AppSpider on your side (or, rather, all of your sides), you’ll be able to scan all the apps today and always be ready for whatever comes next.

    Protect any API. In any environment. Against any threats.

    Wallarm is the platform Dev, Sec, and Ops teams choose to build cloud-native applications securely, monitor them for modern threats, and get alerted when threats arise. Whether you protect some of the legacy apps or brand new cloud-native APIs, Wallarm multi-cloud platform provides key components to secure your business against emerging threats.

    -> Robust protection for the entire application portfolio

    -> Quick integrations

    -> Blocking mode and compliance with no hassle

    Forget issues with false positives. Wallarm’s new libDetection and core signature-less attack detection provide low false positives from day one.

    -> Unparalleled visibility into malicious traffic
