Managed Application Security Testing
Rapid7 provides the experts, technology, and processes needed to effectively identify exploitable application vulnerabilities with the context developers need to fix issues before they appear in production.
Applications are complex. Securing them doesn't have to be.
Eliminate exploitable application vulnerabilities with guidance from our application security experts.
Simplify application security
Reduce complexity and manage appsec risk with guidance from a dedicated security advisor and appsec experts.
Simulate real-world attacks
Our experts will automatically assess your modern web applications and APIs with the same real-world TTPs that attackers use.
Reduce noise, save time, secure faster
Managed appsec provides superior coverage and risk reduction, freeing your team up for more priority security initiatives.

If we managed application security tools internally, we’d see hundreds of alerts and have to parse through and figure out what’s what. Managed AppSec is a lot more manageable than having a static Excel sheet or a PDF of a hundred things to look into.
Secure modern web applications
The underlying Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) technology behind Managed AppSec and InsightAppSec helps security teams to accurately and reliably assess modern web apps and APIs for potential vulnerabilities like SQL injection, XSS, and CSRF. Our team uses InsightAppSec’s ability to assess and report on how your web app security stands up to attackers and any potential compliance risk you might face.

Frequently asked questions
Managed application security is a service delivered by a managed security services provider (MSSP) to operationalize part or all of your application security program. Whether it’s scanning, validating vulnerabilities, or targeted reporting, you can offload these responsibilities to a trusted partner to free up time for higher-level business priorities.
Managed application security testing and remediation services work by:
- Managing scans: Creating and scheduling scan configurations
- Validating vulnerabilities: Reviewing findings, validating vulnerabilities, and removing false positives
- Leveraging targeted reporting: Staying web-app compliant via focused scanning and reporting
- Prioritizing remediation: Providing guidance and recommendations for remediations
- Testing business-logic: Assessing application functionalities like process timing, tampering checks, workflow circumvention, and more
The benefits of managed application security services are:
- Accelerating release cycles
- Avoiding remediation downtime
- Minimizing time-to-remediation
- Reducing costs
- Prioritizing key vulnerabilities
The difference between static application security testing (SAST) and dynamic application security testing (DAST) is the time at which the application and its code are scanned. SAST scans the application while it’s at rest and DAST scans the application while it is running (also known as “at runtime”).
