Simplifying authentication setup

In 2022, we released our authenticated web application scanning feature, with over 1000 customers choosing to set up authentications on their targets. Since then we have continuously gathered feedback on web app scanning, and the number 1 request has been to provide more immediate feedback on whether the authentication is working as expected.

With this release, we have updated how you add an authentication. There is now a verification step during which we will test the login details provided to ensure that your authentication has been successful. This will allow you to understand whether the set up has worked without having to do a scan first, saving you time and effort!
