Summary

Rapid7 InsightAppSec is a commercial dynamic application security testing (DASTDASTDynamic application security testing, probing a running application from the outside for vulnerabilities. It checks behavior exposed through the application's interfaces.) service, accessed through a browser at insight.rapid7.com rather than installed locally, that scans web applications for exploitable vulnerabilities. It is built for application security teams managing a portfolio of apps of varying age and exposure, and it leans on default scan configurations drawn from Rapid7's own testing experience so teams don't have to tune every option themselves, though a Scan Configuration Wizard exists for when speed and thoroughness need balancing. It sits in the appsec category alongside other DAST tools, aimed at organizations mature enough to run structured, recurring scans rather than one-off checks. Recent releases add an out-of-band module for DNS redirect detection and AWS Bedrock LLMLLMA large language model, a neural network trained on large amounts of text to recognize patterns and generate language. Applications use it for tasks such as answering, summarizing and writing code. verification for LDAPLDAPA protocol for querying and modifying directory services, standardized under RFC 4511, commonly used to look up users, groups, and attributes in corporate identity stores like Active Directory. injection findings, suggesting active development on a product that has been running since 2016.

How Rapid7 InsightAppSec helps

Which of the applications in our portfolio have exploitable vulnerabilities right now?

scans each app in the "Apps" screen against attack payloads and reports the vulnerabilities found, letting teams monitor the whole portfolio rather than one app at a time

Which of these findings are worth escalating instead of chasing false positives?

verifies certain finding types, such as LDAP injection, using AWS Bedrock LLM analysis to confirm exploitability before an analyst spends time on them

Should we favor a fast scan or a thorough one for this particular app?

offers a configuration wizard that trades off speed against thoroughness, on top of default settings drawn from Rapid7's own testing experience so most apps don't need manual tuning

Are our older, rarely-touched apps still being checked as rigorously as the ones we update constantly?

treats every added app as a standing entry on the portfolio screen so it can be scanned on a recurring basis regardless of how often its code changes
