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detect vulnerabilities aligned with OWASP Top 10, plus business‑logic flaws, broken access controls, injection issues, outdated components, and more.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.

“Efficient Web Vulnerability Scanning with Interface Learning Curve and Technical Reports”

4.0
Mar 2, 2026
We have been using this product for a few months as a part of our security checks during testing. From QA perspective, it's been helpful in identifying common web vulnerabilities without needing a lot of manual setup. The interface took a little time to get familiar with, but once we understood how the scans and reports work, it became the most positive experience so far.
