InsightAppSec

Cloud-powered dynamic application security testing that scans modern web apps and APIs for vulnerabilities, so development teams fix issues before attackers can find them.

InsightAppSec is Rapid7’s cloud-powered DAST platform that scans modern web apps and APIs for the OWASP Top 10 and other critical vulnerabilities, helping security and development teams catch exploitable issues before production environments.

Top Features

Dynamic application security testing

Find real exploitable vulnerabilities in running web apps and APIs with black-box DAST scanning that simulates real-world attacker behavior across every endpoint and input.

Broad coverage of modern apps

Scan single-page apps, REST and GraphQL APIs, authenticated flows, and traditional web apps with Rapid7 attack templates covering OWASP Top 10, PCI-DSS, and CWE compliance standards.

Actionable findings for developers

Get vulnerability reports with clear remediation guidance, proof-of-concept replay, and integrations into Jira, Jenkins, GitHub, and other developer tools for faster fixes.

Beyond licensing, a seamless, fully supported InsightAppSec experience with Discreet Vision.

Why Your Business Needs InsightAppSec

InsightAppSec isn't just a scanner, it's a cloud-powered DAST platform that helps security and development teams find real exploitable vulnerabilities in running web apps and APIs before attackers reach them.

Dynamic Testing at Scale: Scan hundreds of modern web apps, APIs, and single-page applications simultaneously in the cloud, with attack templates covering OWASP Top 10, PCI-DSS, and CWE compliance needs.

Low False-Positive Rate: Rapid7’s proprietary Attack Replay feature verifies every finding by replaying the exact request, so developers spend time fixing real issues rather than chasing false positives.

Built for DevSecOps Workflows: Integrate directly with Jira, Jenkins, GitHub, GitLab, and Azure DevOps to send findings into developer queues automatically, shifting security testing left without slowdown.

Unified with Rapid7’s Platform: Combine DAST findings with vulnerability management, SIEM, and SOAR in Rapid7’s Insight Platform, giving security leaders a single view of app, endpoint, and cloud risk.

Built for how modern teams secure web apps and APIs.

Everything your business needs to scan, detect, and remediate application vulnerabilities, delivered in one cloud-powered DAST platform covering dynamic testing, API coverage, DevSecOps workflows, compliance reporting, and full Rapid7 Insight Platform integration suite.

Dynamic Application Security Testing

InsightAppSec runs black-box DAST scans against live web apps and APIs, discovering real exploitable vulnerabilities the way attackers would find them. Attack modules cover OWASP Top 10, SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, authentication flaws, broken access control, and hundreds of other CWE categories tested continuously against every endpoint in your application. Scans run in the cloud with no appliances to manage, and schedules can be tuned to match release cycles and freeze windows.

Modern App & API Coverage

Scan the apps and APIs developers actually build today, including single-page applications, progressive web apps, REST and GraphQL APIs, OAuth-protected endpoints, and traditional web apps with authenticated flows. The Universal Translator engine crawls modern JavaScript frameworks and captures dynamic content that static scanners miss. Swagger and Postman files can be imported to define API surfaces, and authenticated scanning supports form logins, MFA, and session-based workflows.

Attack Replay & Actionable Findings

Every finding comes with Rapid7’s proprietary Attack Replay feature, which captures the exact request used to discover the vulnerability and lets developers replay it safely inside InsightAppSec to see the issue in context. This dramatically reduces false positives, shortens developer triage time, and builds trust between security and engineering teams. Remediation guidance is included inline with every finding, and reports map cleanly to PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and internal compliance frameworks.

DevSecOps Integrations

Shift security testing left with direct integrations into the tools developers already use every day: Jira, Jenkins, GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, Slack, and more across the CI/CD pipeline. Scans can be triggered automatically on pull request, release, or deployment, with findings piped directly into developer queues and sprint backlogs. API access lets you automate workflows custom to your environment, and RBAC keeps security, developers, and auditors each in their appropriate lane.

Unified with Rapid7 Insight Platform

InsightAppSec is part of Rapid7’s Insight Platform, so DAST findings combine with vulnerability management, SIEM, SOAR, and cloud security posture data to give security leaders a unified view of risk across apps, endpoints, and cloud infrastructure. Shared identity, RBAC, and reporting work consistently across products, so security teams operate from one platform rather than stitching vendors together. Platform integration correlates app vulnerabilities with real attacker activity.
