Head Information Security at Akhtar Fuiou Technologies

AppSpider is primarily intended for web application scanning, and it provides me with the ability to scan all of our web apps for vulnerabilities. It is also able to scan the application APIs, where we can actually log into the web application and then scan the whole interface. I typically only use it once or twice a month, and mainly for basic web app scanning.

Previously, I was working at a bank but I have now switched to a position as Head of Security within the FinTech industry, where I am managing our company's entire security portfolio. Right now, it's still a startup environment but we're a growing company and we also use a range of other security tools that we recently procured, with more tools in the pipeline. For example, for our SIEM solution, we are using Wazuh, an open source SIEM platform, and we are also using the security operating system Kali Linux.

We use this solution for web application security testing. The Rapid7 AppSpider solution deployment project has come to address an organizational need that complies with the ISO27001 standard with the integration of the solution in the vulnerability management processes as well as the change management process in its phase audit before going into production.

All of our solutions are on-premises because are regulatory requirements state that they must be in order to comply with security. They do not want data to be available on the cloud in different parts of the world, so it must not leave the country.
