About Company

Company Description

Updated 13th June 2024

Bright’s mission is to enable organizations to ship secure applications and APIs at the speed of business. We do this by enabling quick and iterative scans to identify true and critical security vulnerabilities without compromising on quality, or software delivery speeds. Bright empowers AppSec teams to provide the governance for securing APIs and web apps while enabling developers to take ownership of the actual security testing and remediation work early in the SDLC.

Performance of Bright Across Market Features

Bright Likes & Dislikes

Like

The team knowledge and professional abilities to find the right way to find security gaps and adopt to my network architect design of the web services

Like

Authentication setup, support, and the ability to discover vulnerabilities

Like

Bright is intuitive to use and makes it easy for new users to get setup and integrate their applications to perform DAST. For application developers who may not be security focused, it makes the onboarding of the tool simple to get started and have basic setup done quickly.

Dislike

Up to now i have got everything I need. Many feathers were developed per my requests so for now no open issues or disliked options.

Dislike

User interface, lack of features compared to other products, lack of integrations with external products.

Dislike

Some technologies are not currently supported by Bright including mobile scanning, websockets, and some cases of Kerberos authentication. Furthermore, some apps can take hours (sometimes, days) to run full scans based on the security scope selected. Finally, there isn't a secrets tool integration yet, so authentication values must be stored on the tool.

    The Bright Team's Responsiveness and Collaboration: A Double-Edged Sword

    4.0
    May 27, 2025
    The Bright team has been exceptional with their responsiveness and willingness to collaborate and make the product work in the context of our use cases. During the adoption for our users, there were several identified issues, feature gaps, and concerns that the Bright team was able to allocate time and resources to resolve, implement capabilities, and provide flexibility for us in order to meet our deadlines and targets. However, this also shows the gap in supporting larger enterprises and potential issues with scaling that is part of the growing pains Bright is currently going through, but traversing through well.
