Why On-Demand Scanning Matters
Engineering teams deploy updates frequently — every change carries the risk of introducing new vulnerabilities. On-demand scanning ensures:Immediate validation before releases
Security checks integrated directly into CI/CD
Developers get instant feedback
Critical assets can be tested anytime
What Problem This Solves
Slow Manual Testing Cycles
Traditional pentesting can’t keep up with agile releases.
Unsafe Deployments
Code changes go to production without security validation.
High Risk of Regression
Fixes break, vulnerabilities reappear — on-demand scanning catches them instantly.
How Snapsec Performs On-Demand Testing
1
Select Asset or Group
Choose a specific API, application, server, domain, or group to test instantly.
2
Trigger Scan Manually or via CI/CD API
Developers or security teams launch an immediate scan with one click or pipeline call.
3
Run Full/Quick/Targeted Tests
Snapsec supports rapid tests or deep-dive vulnerability analysis based on need.
4
Detect & Classify Issues
CVEs, OWASP issues, misconfigurations, missing headers, exposed services, and more are flagged.
5
Send Findings to VM or Ticketing
Results flow into Snapsec VM (and Jira, Slack, Teams) for remediation.
Key Benefits
Supports Fast Release Cycles
Perfect for agile, DevOps, and continuous deployment teams.
Developer-Friendly
Devs can trigger tests during feature development, before pushing code.
Instant Validation
Validate critical fixes, hot patches, and configuration updates immediately.
Regression Prevention
Prevent previously fixed issues from reappearing.
