We’ve been receiving a lot of interest in Radware’s Free Application Vulnerability Scanner, and thought it might be useful to share to the wider audience here. It is an effective tool to uncover critical vulnerabilities in your application security posture and assess the resilience of your existing security systems.
What it does:
Simulates real-world attacks – identifies vulnerabilities in APIs and bad bot defenses.
Maps to OWASP top threats – so you see exactly where you might be vulnerable.
Safe to run – no impact on your app’s performance, no integration needed.
What you get:
Detailed report with overall effectiveness score of existing security measures.
Risk-wise breakup of number of high, medium, and low risk vulnerabilities identified.
Examples of automated attacks that escaped detection.
Here’s a screenshot from the scan report, showing the different generations of bots that were tested against an app, and which ones got through:
Attached here is a sample report so you can see exactly what the output looks like and get a better feel for the insights the tool provides.
If you’re curious, I recommend signing up for the scan here - it's a free-to-use tool. Even if you think you’re covered, the findings can be eye-opening.
