DerScanner is a proprietary application security testing (AST) platform developed by DerSecur. The software combines multiple security testing methods—including static application security testing (SAST), dynamic application security testing (DAST), and software composition analysis (SCA)—into a single platform designed to support secure software development across the application lifecycle.
DerScanner has received coverage in independent cybersecurity and technology publications for its multi-method approach to application security testing, regional expansion, and inclusion in industry analyst landscapes.
Overview
[edit]DerScanner is designed to identify security vulnerabilities in applications by applying multiple analysis techniques during development and testing. According to independent cybersecurity media, the platform supports SAST, DAST, and SCA, enabling organizations to assess both proprietary code and third-party components within modern software supply chains.[1][2]
The tool is positioned for use in DevSecOps environments and is commonly integrated into continuous integration and continuous delivery workflows.
History
[edit]DerScanner was introduced by DerSecur in 2018 as a source-code security analysis tool. Over time, the platform expanded to include additional testing methods and broader language and framework coverage, reflecting shifts in application security practices toward full-lifecycle testing.
By the early 2020s, DerScanner expanded its presence beyond its initial markets through regional partnerships and distribution agreements. In 2024, DerSecur announced a distribution partnership in the Middle East and Africa region to increase access to DerScanner’s capabilities.[1][2] Independent reporting described this as part of a broader effort to address demand for secure software development tools in the region.
Features
[edit]Independent reporting describes DerScanner as supporting several categories of application security testing:
- Static application security testing (SAST), for identifying vulnerabilities in source code
- Dynamic application security testing (DAST), for analyzing running applications
- Software composition analysis (SCA), for detecting vulnerabilities in third-party and open-source components
SecurityBrief NZ reported that DerScanner introduced supply-chain security features to help organizations evaluate the security risks associated with third-party code dependencies.[3]
Reception
[edit]DerScanner has been reviewed and discussed in several independent cybersecurity publications. In 2023, SecurityBrief NZ reported that DerScanner was recognized as a "High Performer" in application security testing categories, based on user feedback from enterprise software review platforms. The coverage highlighted the platform’s broad testing scope and its suitability for organizations seeking consolidated security testing tools.[4]
In industry analysis coverage, LastWatchdog reported that DerSecur and its DerScanner platform were referenced in a Forrester Research report on static application security testing tools, positioning it within the broader AST landscape.[5]
Industry recognition
[edit]DerScanner has been referenced in the context of analyst research and market evaluations related to application security testing. Independent cybersecurity news outlets have cited its inclusion in analyst landscapes and its alignment with industry standards for vulnerability classification and secure development practices.[5]
