Overview

Product Information on F5 Distributed Cloud Web App Scanning

Updated 24th November 2025

What is F5 Distributed Cloud Web App Scanning?

F5 Distributed Cloud Web App Scanning continuously discovers your external attack surface, crawling domains and APIs to identify exposed apps and infrastructure. It runs automated penetration tests—powered by Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)—against your web applications and APIs to detect vulnerabilities aligned with OWASP Top 10, plus business‑logic flaws, broken access controls, injection issues, outdated components, and more. The service provides rich evidence via screenshots, videos, and detailed context, along with remediation guidance. It supports authenticated testing with test-user credentials, including 2FA, and can run on public cloud, on‑prem, or edge sites. Recon and Scan results integrate into DevOps workflows through CI/CD tools and track findings in task trackers or reports. Scans can be scheduled and generate compliance-ready reports for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and other standards.

    Awesome features, Among the top automated penetration testing solutions

    Apr 1, 2024
    Every manufacturing firm faces multiple cybersecurity-related attacks as most hackers want to get their critical data. Our firm was not left behind in matters of cyber attacks but this came to an end after discovering Heyhack Scan. using this product helped with regular updates for enhanced security. This also ensured that we get efficient vulnerability detection. We were provided with comprehensive reports to ensure actionable insights for remediation. I like how it easily integrated with Vanta and this assured us of hooking our scans with our own vulnerability management system. I appreciate the fact that it integrates with other tools such as CI/CD and Trust Management portals for better automation. Lastly, it simplified our security as well as compliance process.

F5 Distributed Cloud Web App Scanning Likes & Dislikes

Like

When we talk about service then f5 is always good service provider and the product is also good as well.

Like

I like how the user has full control over the testing schedule and this makes the process effortless and keeps your system secure always since it is automated. It ensures that as a user you get vulnerability and patch management, which helps in making key decisions regarding the vulnerabilities found as well as strategic decisions without worrying about any cyber attacks. The results are presented in an intuitive and easy to use UI, findings and recommendations are easy to follow.

Like

The Zero Touch Deployment and the wide integrations with CI/CD tools like GitHub, GitLab and Jenkins.

Dislike

At some level, the scanning depth is limited for complex business logic and also cost is also high

Dislike

The run-time is sometimes long depending on the work being done, this I believe is not a dislike but just a comment.

Dislike

There are very limited features for on-premises and air gapped environments.
