A vulnerability assessment is a process to find and prioritize security weaknesses in your apps or systems so you can fix them before attackers exploit them.

Extended DAST is a deeper dynamic application security test that runs more crawl paths and attack patterns to give broader coverage than a basic quick scan.

What is Threat Intelligence with CVE or vulnerability-intelligence?

Accepted Answer

Threat intelligence combines data about known vulnerabilities and real-world attacks to show which issues are high risk, actively exploited, or need urgent patching.

Question 6

What is the CVE Template included in the Pro plan?

Accepted Answer

The CVE Template is a large CVE database the Deep Test uses to check your app against thousands of known vulnerabilities for broader, deeper coverage.

Threat Intelligence highlights which found vulnerabilities are being exploited in the wild so you can focus on the most critical issues first.

How can I view a report and see what it looks like?

Question 10

Is the scanning process safe for my live, production website?
