I use this solution to test applications; web applications, web APIs, and infrastructure. For the web APIs and applications, I use OWASP Zap for interpreting requests and responses, and to see how the application behaves to resist payloads. This is one of the basic applications for us to automate and test. We are customers of OWASP Zap and I'm an application security consultant.

OWASP Zap is used for dynamic testing. So when any kind of application, like, a web application, needs to be tested for its security and vulnerabilities. It is also used to crawl the site and then to enumerate all the input or the possible exploitation points, and then we try to exploit any blockings within OWASP Zap.

Assistant Vice President at Hexaware Technologies Limited

Currently, we build our products for the banking industry and use this solution in that process.

From a development cycle, we update the SQL injections that basically shows what a developer may have to address. Then, if there is still a problem, we're concerned at the architect level. That's at least initially reported by the customers when they do another round of review after we deliver our code.

Program Manager at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees

OWASP ZAP is a very useful, light tool for beginners to learn how to “spider” across websites. It is easy to configure and generate reports. There are other solutions for more mature, experienced security analysts and testers, who are capable of extending the coverage of a security assessment.

It is most frequently used to review HTTP methods, how are they constructed and if there is sensitive information in the traffic, such as how HTTPS certifications work on the website, scanning open ports visible via the web, and trying to modify HTTP methods to add or delete requests.

I have used OWASP ZAP as part of my portfolio of security tools since 2013.

Security/penetration testing of a Java-based Web application which is served over a SaaS platform.

Zap has been integrated as one of the important tools in our QA cycle. All beta releases of our software go through Zap scanning. Custom reports are generated - they are pretty decent and standardized - and are submitted to upper management for auditing by a third-party.

JT
Embedded Software Engineer at Y Soft

Our primary use case is for scanning. We have Bamboo, Nexus and Artifactory and we are able to make snapshots. When we get a pull request we're able to make another snapshot and we compare the two snapshots together and can see what is new in the pull request. We can see which libraries are there and that enables us to see the vulnerabilities. I'm an embedded software engineer.
