Burp Suite

Burp Suite is a comprehensive web security testing tool to identify web application vulnerabilities. It includes tools for intercepting and modifying web traffic, automated vulnerability scanning, automated attack simulations, and various data manipulation and analysis functions. Popular among cybersecurity professionals, Burp Suite aids in both manual and automated testing to ensure web applications are secure against potential attacks like SQL injection and cross-site scripting.

ThreatNG can effectively complement Burp Suite in the process of web security testing. This integrated solution can offer a broader perspective on an organization's digital presence, identifying potential threats and vulnerabilities beyond what Burp Suite primarily focuses on. ThreatNG's EASM component can continuously monitor an organization's digital footprint and surface potential attack vectors, which can then be handed off to Burp Suite for deeper manual or automated security testing. Likewise, the DRP feature in ThreatNG can detect unauthorized data leaks or exposures, which, once identified, can be further investigated using Burp Suite's analysis and manipulation capabilities. Additionally, ThreatNG's security ratings can provide an overall assessment of an organization's security posture, guiding the prioritization of Burp Suite's testing efforts toward the most critical areas. ThreatNG's comprehensive insights can initiate the testing process and provide valuable context. At the same time, Burp Suite's specialized tools can perform in-depth assessments and validate potential vulnerabilities identified by ThreatNG.
