About

Bright Security provides an enterprise-grade, developer-centric Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) solution, centered around its revolutionary platform, Bright STAR. Bright STAR, which stands for Autonomous Security Testing and Remediation, is an AI-powered application security platform engineered to redefine the standards of security testing. It scans applications and APIs from the outside-in, precisely mimicking the techniques of a malicious actor to automatically identify exploitable vulnerabilities.

Unlike traditional DAST tools, Bright STAR is built with a developer-first philosophy, empowering teams to integrate security seamlessly into their workflow. The platform is designed to find, fix, and validate real vulnerabilities early in the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), supporting the critical "shift-left" approach. This ensures that security issues are caught and remediated as early as the unit testing phase, significantly reducing risk and saving valuable development.
