Product Update – January 2021

A lot is happening with Bright! Here are some updates and new features that will make your experience even better.

New Features

Introducing a new scan status: Disrupted

With the news scan status of Disrupted, you can now easily distinguish scans that were stopped due to recoverable issues on the user’s side, for example:

• When the repeater is no longer available during an active scan
• When the target is not responding for X minutes (5 minutes by default)
• When the scan finds no valid entry-points, due to incorrect configuration (missing authentication, no valid responses, etc.)
• When a scheduled scan cannot start due to a configuration issue (file unavailable, repeater unavailable, etc.) The disruption event details are also recorded to Engine Notifications.

Improvements

New Version of Okta Integration

We’ve made improvements to how you manage your team’s access to Bright’s scanner using Okta SSO. The Bright integration app is now available on the Okta marketplace. With this app, you can easily configure SSO integration via both OIDC and SAML protocols. You can also take advantage of the provisioning feature to automatically synchronize users and groups between your Okta application and your Bright organization.

Project Level API Keys

To provide with more flexibility and control of how your teams access Bright, we added the ability to create and use API keys at the project level.

Brower-Based Authentication Improvements

We improved our form field detection algorithm to be able to look up the target field not only by name but also by labels, placeholders, and even unique HTML object IDs. That will make the process of configuring the authentication form quick and easy! Just write the name of the field as you see it, and our browser will find it in the form automatically. Easy!

Try it out!

Multi-step Browser-based Authentication

We extended the browser-based authentication configurations to support multiple steps, where you can easily specify your application’s unique login sequences.
