Crashtest Security Review

Automated Penetration Testing 

With Crashtest Security, you no longer need to waste time and money setting up and conducting penetration tests to find vulnerabilities in the applications you’re developing and deploying. This is because the software automates every aspect of penetration testing, from data collection and vulnerability analysis to vulnerability exploitation and report generation. 

All of these capabilities are integrated into one easy-to-use yet advanced application security testing tool. Crashtest Security automatically scans your web-based projects, applications, and APIs for different types of security vulnerabilities. These include fingerprinting, SSL/TLS vulnerability, cross-site scripting and request forgery, injection attack, and fuzzing. It can test your single-page and multiple-page projects against such vulnerabilities. 

You can quickly and conveniently set up invasive and non-invasive security scans within the software through its intuitive user interface and dashboards. By running automated penetration tests and security scans, Crashtest Security helps you cut your expenses for detecting, assessing, and fixing vulnerabilities in your applications. 

Performance & Productivity Optimization 

The application security testing software was built to enhance the performance and productivity of your IT security managers, web/mobile developers, and QA testers. They are given the opportunity to immediately discover and solve vulnerabilities in applications before and after those applications are released and deployed to production environments. 

Because of this, they’ll be able to focus more on producing high-quality and secure applications than conducting manual penetration tests or self-written tests.  Moreover, as the software improves their performance and productivity, you can prevent employees, customers, and end-users from being exposed to vulnerable applications and APIs. 

Crashtest Security has integration features that allow you to extend the capabilities of the software to your existing development processes, environments, and tools. For example, you can connect your continuous integration or continuous delivery tools with the software and instantly run scans on your applications depending on which stage of your development or deployment process they are currently in. These process-driven scans are made possible using webhook.

You can also integrate the software with your reporting, support/service, and chat applications. This capability accelerates your vulnerability management processes, permitting your team members to get all the details they need about application vulnerabilities and fix those vulnerabilities directly from the tools they are familiar with. 

Vulnerability Reporting 

As previously mentioned, one aspect of penetration testing that Crashtest Security automates is report generation. It makes the process of preparing and presenting reports about tests and scans straightforward. This way, you and stakeholders can access and analyze vulnerability data without any difficulties and complications. 

The tool generates PDF reports where you can view all vital information and details related to the security scans. The reports present scan results and findings and include resources on how you can remediate specific vulnerabilities. Crashtest Security, moreover, produces reports written in JUnit XML format which you can export to the reporting tools you’re currently using. 

You can also come up with a single-page certificate that you can present to stakeholders and auditors as proof that your projects, webpages, applications, and APIs are safe from security threats.
