In the ever-evolving landscape of application security, Bright is excited to introduce Bright’s STAR (Security Testing & Automated Remediation) platform. STAR is a revolutionary approach that disrupts traditional AST (Application Security Testing) concepts and ushers in a new era of Application and API Security solutions. . Bright has been deploying Developer-centric DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing) solutions to some of the world’s largest enterprises for the past 5 years. The new STAR platform incorporates many of the capabilities needed by our customers and other organizations we speak with to enable them to take a modern approach to Application and API Security by focusing on automation, testing early in the SDLC and driving automated remediation. With the introduction of this new solution Bright is breaking down barriers between SAST (Static Application Security Testing), DAST, and IAST (Interactive Application Security Testing), offering a truly revolutionary solution to the industry which doesn’t only test, but also helps enterprises auto-remediate vulnerabilities.

The Power of STAR: Redefining Application Security
STAR reimagines Application and API security by leveraging Bright’s advanced Dynamic engine and seamlessly integrating AI capabilities with Bright’s SecTester security unit testing library. This powerful combination enables STAR to:
- Automatically generate security unit test coverage (SecTester) for a given codebase.
- Run security unit tests to identify vulnerabilities dynamically by developers early in the SDLC.
- Automatically generate fixes for discovered vulnerabilities using AI-driven insights.
- Validate those fixes in real time using the same SecTester unit tests ensuring remediation is both effective and seamless. Based on our Dynamic platform Bright is uniquely positioned to provide real validation.
Broad Language Support for Maximum Adoption
Bright’s STAR platform is designed with developers in mind, supporting multiple programming languages, including Go, JavaScript, TypeScript, .NET, and others. This broad compatibility allows organizations across the globe to integrate STAR into their development workflows effortlessly, ensuring security is embedded early in the development lifecycle. Due to our dynamic approach we are able to rapidly add support for additional languages without needing full language integration required by SAST solutions.
Dynamic Security Testing at the Code Level
Yes, you read that correctly!
Unlike traditional SAST solutions that rely on static analysis and approximations, STAR brings dynamic security testing directly to the unit-testing and code level. This eliminates guesswork and false positives while avoiding the complexities of DAST, such as authentication challenges and full application discovery processes. By merging dynamic testing with unit testing, STAR delivers an unprecedented level of accuracy and efficiency in security validation.
A New Era in Application Security
With STAR, Bright is redefining the standards of Application Security by offering a developer-friendly, automated, and AI-powered security testing solution. This next-generation approach empowers development teams to detect and remediate vulnerabilities faster, with minimal friction, ultimately leading to more secure applications and APIs and a stronger security posture for organizations worldwide.
Bright’s STAR is not just an evolution, it’s a revolution in application security! Stay ahead of the curve with Bright and experience the future of AppSec today.
