Weekly insights and risk analysis facilitate informed security decisions

I appreciate the weekly insights Zafran provides, which include critical topics for networks and IT security, allowing us to evaluate which insights apply to our environment. The organization score feature is valuable to keep the leadership team updated on how our infrastructure fares security-wise. The applicable risk level versus base risk level feature is beneficial because prior to Zafran, we only used the base risk level, but now understand that risk depends on the asset itself. Zafran is an excellent tool.

With a super easy initial setup phase, the tool also offers regular updates

PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition's new features released in the last two years are really good, so I won't say that I am not looking at any new features. The product's latest feature, which was really good, but had an issue since it allowed us in our company to put the proxy in the browser and then connect it with PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition to get the calls resolved with the help of setup allowing for browser features inside PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition. I want PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition to be available on the cloud, though my concerns stem from the fact that I don't know how an application hosted on the cloud can do a proxy for an application. I can't recall what needs to be added to the solution to make it better, but I have seen that when I use the product, I feel that the tool needs to have a few elements added to it. The cost per license per user could be cheaper, specifically for individual licensing.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"We are able to see the real risk of a vulnerability on our environment with our security tools."

"Zafran has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal."

"Overall, we have seen about eighty-seven percent reduction of the number of vulnerabilities that require urgency to remediate, specifically the number of criticals."

"We saw benefits from Zafran Security almost immediately after deploying it."

"Zafran is an excellent tool."

"The most valuable part of it was probably the ability to intercept and modify calls."

"This tool helps identify vulnerabilities. We then provide the report to the developers, who address the issues identified automatically. Its most valuable feature is CI/CD integration."

"The solution's extensions really expand the capabilities and features offered by the installation."

"Its automated scanning feature saves time."

"The product is easy to use."

"Parallel scans can be done with PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition."

"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

More PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition pros

"It is easy for developers to use. The documentation is clear as well as the APIs are good and easily readable. It's a good solution overall."

"We use Snyk to check vulnerabilities and rectify potential leaks in GitHub."

"The most valuable features include enriched information around the vulnerabilities for better triaging, in terms of the vulnerability layer origin and vulnerability tree."

"The dependency checks of the libraries are very valuable, but the licensing part is also very important because, with open source components, licensing can be all over the place. Our project is not an open source project, but we do use quite a lot of open source components and we want to make sure that we don't have surprises in there."

"Its reports are nice and provide information about the issue as well as resolution. They also provide a proper fix. If there's an issue, they provide information in detail about how to remediate that issue."

"Snyk categorizes the level of vulnerability into high, medium, and low, which helps organizations prioritize which issues to tackle first."

"From the software composition analysis perspective, it first makes sure that we understand what is happening from a third-party perspective for the particular product that we use. This is very difficult when you are building software and incorporating dependencies from other libraries, because those dependencies have dependencies and that chain of dependencies can go pretty deep. There could be a vulnerability in something that is seven layers deep, and it would be very difficult to understand that is even affecting us. Therefore, Snyk provides fantastic visibility to know, "Yes, we have a problem. Here is where it ultimately comes from." It may not be with what we're incorporating, but something much deeper than that."

"The code scans on the source code itself were valuable."

More Snyk pros

Cons

"The dashboarding and reporting functionality of Zafran Security is an area that definitely could use some improvements."

"I think the ability to have some enhanced reporting capabilities is something they can improve on, as they have good reports but we have asked for some specific reporting enhancements."

"Initially, we were somewhat concerned about the scalability of Zafran due to our large asset count and the substantial amount of information we needed to process."

"The product needs to have the ability to evaluate more."

"PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition should incorporate a static code analysis feature. One main issue we encounter is false positives. False positives can be challenging for developers."

"From my personal experience, the solution's performance could be improved."

"There's definitely room for improvement. There are lots of false positives. Once I do the manual assessment, it comes as a false positive. They need to improve the Enterprise Edition, especially the part that gives false positives."

"The stability of the scans could be improved."

"It would be beneficial if Burp Suite provided predefined payloads for each attack category, such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting, to automate some tasks more effectively."

"It would be better if the solution is cloud-based."

"The implementation of the solution is quite complicated and could be easier."

More PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition cons

"We were using Microsoft Docker images. It was reporting some vulnerabilities, but we were not able to figure out the fix for them. It was reporting some vulnerabilities in the Docker images given by Microsoft, which were out of our control. That was the only limitation. Otherwise, it was good."

"It lists projects. So, if you have a number of microservices in an enterprise, then you could have pages of findings. Developers will then spend zero time going through the pages of reports to figure out, "Is there something I need to fix?" While it may make sense to list all the projects and issues in these very long lists for completeness, Snyk could do a better job of bubbling up and grouping items, e.g., a higher level dashboard that draws attention to things that are new, the highest priority things, or things trending in the wrong direction. That would make it a lot easier. They don't quite have that yet in container security."

"Snyk has several limitations, including issues with Gradle, NPM, and Xcode, and trouble with AutoPR."

"We would like to have upfront knowledge on how easy it should be to just pull in an upgraded dependency, e.g., even introduce full automation for dependencies supposed to have no impact on the business side of things. Therefore, we would like some output when you get the report with the dependencies. We want to get additional information on the expected impact of the business code that is using the dependency with the newer version. This probably won't be easy to add, but it would be helpful."

"For the areas that they're new in, it's very early stages for them. For example, their expertise is in looking at third-party components and packages, which is their bread-and-butter and what they've been doing for ages, but for newer features such as static analysis I don't think they've got compatibility for all the languages and frameworks yet."

"Compatibility with other products would be great."

"We had some issues integrating into our pipeline, however, they were resolved."

"We have seen cases where tools didn't find or recognize certain dependencies. These are known issues, to some extent, due to the complexity in the language or stack that you using. There are some certain circumstances where the tool isn't actually finding what it's supposed to be finding, then it could be misleading."
