Case Study: Large Banking Company detects vulnerabilities early with Bright Security's DAST solution

How Bright's Solution Helped a Leading Bank Detect Vulnerabilities in APIs

Large Banking Company, a North American financial services organization with more than 10,000 employees, needed a more effective way to secure its APIs and meet strict banking compliance requirements. Traditional manual testing, static analysis, and legacy DAST tools were not enough to keep up with the pace of development or identify issues early in the SDLC. The company turned to Bright Security’s Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) solution to improve API security testing.

Bright Security implemented its DAST platform to scan REST, SOAP, and GraphQL APIs, including APIs defined through Postman Collections or Swagger files. This allowed Large Banking Company to define an optimized attack surface and detect vulnerabilities earlier, before production release. As a result, the bank now finds dozens of vulnerabilities each month prior to production, improving security coverage and reducing release risk.
