Login Authentication Goes Automated With New InsightAppSec Improvements

Move over, macros — automated login is here.

At Rapid7, we know the most powerful tools in your security portfolio are the ones that help you understand your risks quickly. With our new automated login for InsightAppSec, you can access and scan even the most complex, modern applications quickly and easily. That means you'll spend less time worrying about whether your scans are authenticating and more time assessing and responding to vulnerabilities.

This has always been a time-consuming process that takes resources away from the work of identifying and remediating vulnerabilities.
