Poll status of a Bright Discovery

This action polls a Bright discovery until it finishes, or its time runs out.

Build Secure Apps & APIs. Fast.

Bright is a powerful dynamic application & API security testing (DAST) platform that security teams trust and developers love.

Automatically Tests Every Aspect of Your Apps & APIs

Scans any target, whether Web Apps, APIs (REST. & SOAP, GraphQL & more), Web sockets or mobile, providing actionable reports

Seamlessly integrates with the Tools and Workflows You Already Use

Bright works with your existing CI/CD pipelines – trigger scans on every commit, pull request or build with unit testing.

Spin-Up, Configure and Control Scans with Code

One file. One command. One scan. No UI needed.

Super-Fast Scans

Interacts with applications and APIs, instead of just crawling them and guessing. Scans are fast as our AI-powered engine can understand application architecture and generate sophisticated and targeted attacks.

No False Positives

Stop chasing ghosts and wasting time. Bright doesn’t return false positives, so you can focus on releasing code.

Comprehensive Security Testing

Bright tests for all common vulnerabilities, such as SQL injection, CSRF, XSS, and XXE -- as well as uncommon vulnerabilities, such as business logic vulnerabilities.
