Human-Driven Automated Pentesting
(H-DAP)
NetSPI’s H-DAP solution is designed to provide a lighter touch manual assessment across a broader range of web apps helping to rapidly improve coverage by testing more of your portfolio, instead of only high-risk apps.
H-DAP vs Traditional Web App Pentesting
Improve Your Web App Portfolio Coverage
Although high-risk apps are tested annually, adversaries are still gaining access, often through lower risk applications. Traditional web application pentesting delivers a deep-dive manual assessment on a narrow set of web applications which often forces companies to limit which are tested.
Human-Driven Automated Pentesting (H-DAP) helps to rapidly improve coverage by focusing on top web application attack techniques and vulnerabilities discovered from 20+ years in the proactive security space.
“73% of successful corporate network penetration tests broke in through vulnerable web applications”
Streamline
AI-Enabled technology established a vulnerability baseline. Manual validation and triaging provide near-zero false positives, delivering actionable information from noise.
Secure
Humans perform targeted manual penetration testing to discover findings that scanners simply can’t.
Scale
Expand coverage by testing more of your web application portfolio, instead of only high-risk apps.
Human-Driven Automated Pentesting (H-DAP) Deliverables
H-DAP uses industry standard DAST scanning tools paired with targeted manual penetration testing, allowing companies to rapidly test with confidence and improve coverage across a portfolio of applications.
