Astra Autonomous Pentest

The DAST Scanner delivers dynamic vulnerability scanning for web applications, covering over 10,000 vulnerabilities including the OWASP Top 10 and recent CVEs. It supports authenticated scans that can probe behind login screens, ensuring that protected features and user-specific content are tested. The scanner integrates deeply with CI/CD pipelines, Slack, and Jira, so findings can be triaged and assigned directly within development workflows. It is compliant with SOC2, HIPAA, and ISO standards, enabling organizations to maintain regulatory compliance while continuously testing their applications. Scan results can be shared transparently with stakeholders via the Astra Trust Center, providing a single source of truth about security posture. This combination of breadth and depth helps teams catch vulnerabilities that other tools miss, reducing the risk of breaches from overlooked attack vectors.

The API Security Platform is a new capability that discovers and scans every API in an organization’s infrastructure, identifying shadow, zombie, and undocumented endpoints. It connects to multiple traffic sources like AWS, Nginx, and Kubernetes to gain full visibility into all APIs, including those not managed centrally. The platform scans for OWASP Top 10 API vulnerabilities, secrets exposure, and access control issues, providing a complete risk assessment. By continuously monitoring API traffic and behavior, it detects anomalies that could indicate exploitation attempts. The results are integrated into the same dashboard as other scans, allowing teams to correlate API risks with cloud and application findings. This unified view helps security teams prevent data breaches from misconfigured or deprecated APIs, which are a common entry point for attackers. The API Security Platform also supports compliance frameworks like PCI DSS and HIPAA, which increasingly require API security assessments.

The Cloud Vulnerability Scanner offers continuous, agentless vulnerability scanning across AWS, Azure, and GCP. It detects over 400 misconfigurations and risks, including IAM drifts, exposed storage, insecure encryption, and posture gaps—all within minutes after connecting cloud accounts. The scanner integrates into CI/CD pipelines for pre- and post-deployment checks, ensuring that cloud security is validated with every infrastructure change. It works seamlessly alongside the DAST, API Security, and PTaaS modules, providing a single pane of glass for all security testing. This integration means teams can see how web application vulnerabilities relate to cloud misconfigurations, enabling faster root cause analysis. Agentless deployment eliminates the need to install software on cloud resources, reducing operational overhead. The scanner also generates shareable reports through the Trust Center, helping organizations prove their cloud security to auditors and customers.

Real-world use cases demonstrate how Astra addresses diverse security challenges. A fintech startup needing SOC2 compliance uses the platform to run automated DAST scans weekly and manual PTaaS quarterly, with the Trust Center providing shareable reports for auditors. A mental health app (like Sentur) uncovered moderate and high-severity issues their internal team never knew existed, thanks to the combination of automated scanning and manual pentester expertise. Another customer, Zenduty, integrated Astra’s automated scans into their CI/CD pipeline, saving significant time and gaining rapid issue resolution with detailed vulnerability insights from security engineers. A SaaS company uses the API Security Platform to discover and secure undocumented endpoints before attackers find them, preventing potential data leaks. The platform also provides a security certificate that companies can share with customers to prove they are actively pentesting, building trust and differentiating themselves in competitive markets.

Astra is trusted by over 1000 engineering teams, including names like HackerRank, Mamaearth, Prime Healthcare, and OLX Autos. It is built for CTOs, CISOs, DevSecOps engineers, and compliance officers who need to maintain continuous security without adding friction. The platform integrates natively with popular tools like Jira, Slack, and CI/CD systems, fitting into existing workflows rather than requiring new processes. It has a 4.6 G2 rating and has helped uncover over 2 million vulnerabilities, saving clients an estimated $69 million in potential losses. The platform offers flexible pricing with trials starting at $7, and support includes real-time Slack communication with pentesters. The takeaway: Astra turns penetration testing from a one-time compliance checkbox into an ongoing, collaborative security practice that protects applications, APIs, and cloud environments continuously.
