The number of application vulnerabilities is rapidly increasing, posing risks to many organizations. To proactively address these threats, companies should use a comprehensive set of tools for assessing security both during runtime and in source code. This is where static (SAST, white-box) and dynamic (DAST, black-box) application security testing come into play.
Invicti (formerly Netsparker), which is a DAST solution for web applications, seamlessly integrates with the SAST module of Mend.io (formerly WhiteSource), providing centralized visibility for vulnerability detection and remediation.
This integration allows Invicti to receive the latest scan results for a specific target from Mend SAST. These results are consolidated on a single platform. This enables teams to manage scan results conveniently and gain a clear view of the overall application security posture.
Companies can experience a variety of other benefits from combining these solutions:
Comprehensive approach to AppSec
An advanced application security program does not rely on a single testing method. Using integrated DAST and SAST can significantly improve the security of an organization.
In addition, the Invicti platform provides Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) capabilities to expand scan coverage and provide information about the location of vulnerabilities, as well as API and website discovery functionality.
Mend.io combines SAST, Software Composition Analysis (SCA), container security, and visibility into the AI models used in applications.
Complete coverage
SAST performs security checks on static code, while DAST tests applications during runtime, as they are seen by users and potential attackers. This combination provides the high level of coverage and accuracy that AppSec professionals seek.
Security during development
To minimize the number of vulnerabilities reaching production, testing application security early in the software development lifecycle (SDLC) is crucial.
Invicti and Mend.io offer ready-made integrations with CI/CD systems. These integrations help teams detect weaknesses in the early stages. They also enable remediation of vulnerabilities before they lead to serious consequences.
By combining their strengths, Invicti and Mend.io create a multi-layered approach to application security that allows companies to build proactive and effective AppSec programs.
