Modern DAST scanner for engineering teams
See your app through a hacker's eyes
We don't just scan, we dissect. Astra's DAST scanner analyzes your web application
into its smallest components - APIs, underlying cloud, user roles - and examines
each layer with the precision of a master hacker.
But here's where it gets interesting
Every pentest our security engineers perform feeds back into our DAST vulnerability scanner.
That means we're not just relying on known CVEs - we're continuously learning
from real-world hacks performed during pentests.
15,000+ Test Cases
Covers standards like OWASP Top 10, ASVS, NIST, SANS
Scanning for the latest CVEs
Broken access control? We catch that too
Detect complex vulnerabilities like XSS, SQLi, IDOR, CSRF, SSRF, and more
Authenticated Scanning
We go where others can't — deep behind secure login screens
Authenticated scans with full support for MFA, token-based logins, and enterprise SSOs
AI-Powered Intelligence
Our AI tailors test scenarios to your unique app
Contextual remediation advice at your fingertips
Improves detection with context-aware, evolving ML analysis
Built for Modern Web Apps
Supports REST, SOAP, and GraphQL API scanning — both authenticated and unauthenticated
Create API inventory based on DAST scans
Browser-based crawling engine to accurately scan JS-heavy
apps
Continuous Security
Schedule scans with a custom frequency or trigger them post-deployment
Manage access with Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) across teams and roles
Tailor your scans with configurable headers, timeouts, user agents & more
Compliance Made Easy
Identifies vulnerabilities affecting ISO 27001, HIPAA, SOC2, GDPR compliance
Instant view of how detected issues impact your compliance status

We are impressed by Astra's commitment to continuous rather than sporadic testing.



Astra not only uncovers vulnerabilities proactively but has helped us move from DevOps to DevSecOps


Their website was user-friendly & their continuous vulnerability scans were a pivotal factor in our choice to partner with them.



The combination of pentesting for SOC 2 & automated scanning that integrates into our CI pipelines is a game-changer.



I like the autonomy of running and re-running tests after fixes. Astra ensures we never deploy vulnerabilities to production.



We are impressed with Astra's dashboard and its amazing ‘automated and scheduled‘ scanning capabilities. Integrating these scans into our CI/CD pipeline was a breeze and saved us a lot of time.

Frequently asked questions
Will you be performing DoS or DDoS attack on our systems? Will our systems go down during your testing?
How do we define a target for DAST Scanner?
However, let's say you have a customer dashboard at https://app.example.com/ and an admin dashboard at https://admin.example.com/ with different login pages, then you will need 2 targets as both will require deep scanning of their own. Learn more here.
