DAST for Security Engineers when shipping outpaces your inventory
AI-assisted development ships apps and APIs faster than any team can inventory them. NightVision makes coverage the default, not a request.
One coordinated workflow for the whole application
Web and API testing in one scan
A crawler built for modern single-page apps maps the browser side while source analysis generates OpenAPI specs for supported REST frameworks. One findings queue, one reporting workflow.
Undocumented APIs stop being a blind spot
API discovery runs locally against source, is deterministic, and produces a spec in under 20 seconds; no LLM reads your code. Shadow endpoints get tested with the same depth as documented ones.
The authenticated app, tested every run
Record the login once with Playwright; credentials are vaulted automatically, TOTP/MFA included. A login-check gate verifies the session before testing starts, so a broken login fails the run instead of silently scanning logged out.
BeyondTrust’s application security team won an internal hackathon award by giving developer teams self-serve DAST scans at build time, with findings ticketed automatically to Engineering.
Findings your team can act on without re-testing them first
Triage burden is a function of evidence quality.
HTTP evidence, retained
Request-level findings keep the exchange that triggered them, so triage starts from observed behavior, not a severity guess.
Code Traceback to file and line
Supported source-discovered API findings link to the endpoint's file and line, a location engineering can act on.
Reporting that survives an audit
One export pipeline for engineers, auditors, and leadership. Custom Nuclei templates run alongside the built-in catalog.
DAST for security engineers: common questions
Can NightVision replace separate web and API scanners?
Yes. NightVision coordinates web application crawling and API testing in one platform workflow, and API discovery can feed source-derived OpenAPI specs into dynamic testing. One platform, one queue, one reporting pipeline.
What evidence comes with each finding?
Request-level findings retain the HTTP evidence that triggered them. On supported API scans backed by source discovery, Code Traceback can add the file and line that defined the endpoint.
Can I write my own checks?
Yes. Upload custom Nuclei templates and assign them to targets. They run alongside the built-in check catalog on NightVision's in-house engine forks.
How does authenticated scanning work?
Playwright-recorded logins with credentials auto-vaulted, TOTP/MFA support, and a login-check gate that fails the run if the session cannot be established.
Is NightVision SOC 2 compliant?
NightVision holds a SOC 2 Type 2 attestation; the report is available under NDA through the Trust Center.
Where do other roles fit?
