What do you like best about Bright Security?

It is a solution that consistently introduces new features ahead of other DAST solutions. It has recently announced integrations with two SAST solutions (correlates SAST and DAST) and one API security solution.

It offers the possibility of integration in various phases of the SDLC, including the early stages.

I know that some new features were implemented because Bright listens to its customers' needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Product Description

Bright Security is a developer-centric Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) solution that helps organizations ship secure applications and APIs quickly and cost-effectively. Its approach enables quick and iterative scans to identify critical security vulnerabilities early in the SDLC without compromising on quality or delivery speed. Bright empowers AppSec teams to provide governance for securing APIs and web apps while allowing developers to take ownership of security testing and remediation work. Unlike legacy DAST solutions built for AppSec professionals, which are complex to deploy and find vulnerabilities late in the development process, Bright's DAST solution is optimized for the DevOps world. It can be deployed as early as the Unit Testing phase and run throughout the SDLC, learning and optimizing from every scan. By enabling organizations to detect and remediate vulnerabilities early in the SDLC, Bright reduces risk at a lower cost and effort.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Bright stands out in the AppSec sector with its developer-focused DAST solution tailored for early SDLC integration. Exclusively, Bright offers access directly from the developer's IDE. Our cutting-edge technology significantly reduces false positives, a common issue with traditional DAST solutions. Besides seamless CI/CD integration, Bright distinctively complements other ecosystem platforms like SAST and API protection.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Bright Security?

Bright Security offers an intuitive and user-friendly interface, making it easy to navigate and manage security tasks efficiently, also Bright has good security checks for scanning web applications is the most important in the DAST.

Bright stands out with its continuous improvement and timely updates, ensuring it stays ahead of competitors in the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bright Security?

We thought it would be great if Bright had better tools to make a map of the application's API and to scan single-page apps more effectively. Bright should get better at working together with other security tools from different companies and let users customize things the way they like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bright Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use "Bright" as our internal application security tool. We've extended its coverage to most of our applications and APIs with deep security checks. Additionally, with a few tweaks, we also utilize Bright as an external web application scanner, and it's yielding good results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bright Security?

Scanning and testing capabilities for frontend of your application are next level

Flexibility in reports generation

Constant meaningful improvements in Ease of Use in last year, for example Incremental app that analyzes entrypoints and triggers scans without having to set up the parameters relevant to each.

Customer Support is very helpful even when I am not from the security field. Support also are crucial for Ease of implementation, and follow up on a weekly basis on progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bright Security?

More challenging for products that require frequent reinstall

Could use better integration with API scanning, like entrypoint discovery with target's swagger page

Need to improve flexibility in entrypoint management for a given project (mass edit, mass delete etc)

I would also suggest diversifying the licensing options:

I need to run multiple scans in short amount of time once every 2 months to test all products. Currently the license is for one engine, which means I can use it 24/7 but am limited to one running scan. Having an option for several engines that are time limited with frequency required would be useful, even a pay-as-you-go format would work well for these use cases.

Bright helps me meet my company's security requirements for the product my group develops. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use, easy to understand and very user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bright Security?

Due to configuration changes or such from the Brightside often times the scan fails with no apparent reason. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bright Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

DAST is often looked down upon many organisations but with Brightsec it is easier to justify the importance of having a DAST scan for every release. Its preciseness in identifying vulnerabilities helps in confirming the True Positive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bright Security?

I have been collaborating with Bright Security since the early days of the company. The vision was always aligned to solve a major AppSec problem - creating a tool that can perform active security to tests in order to detect vulnerabilities as early as possible before shipped to production, decreasing penetration testing scope which has a significant cause, and embeding these capabilities in to high scale security environments.

After a long journey I can now say they achieved all these goals. No other DAST integrates smoother than Bright on high scale development environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bright Security?

Some UI Changes are required to make configuration more coherent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bright Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

Instead of spending enormous amounts of budgets on penetration tests - some of our customers have been able to reduce the necessity of full blown PT's by providing most detection for the same vulnerabilities using Bright's solution. Providing beneficial and easy-to-use capabilities for developers on their common platform is a game changer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
