External Attack Surface & Dynamic Web Security to Complement or Replace Snyk

Snyk is great for open-source code dependencies, but what about your live external perimeter, subdomains, SSL certificates, and misconfigured cloud assets? WeSecureX specializes in full dynamic web security (DAST) and attack surface reconnaissance.

Why Teams Are Choosing WeSecureX Over Snyk

Snyk specializes in Static Analysis (SAST) and Software Composition Analysis (SCA) for developers. However, it does not scan your live external web servers, public APIs, email security headers, or open ports. WeSecureX provides the external DAST and attack surface layer that catches real-world live exploitable weaknesses.

Common Frustrations with Snyk

  • ✕Primarily focused on code dependencies, not live external running web perimeters
  • ✕High per-developer seat cost ($98+/user/mo)
  • ✕Does not detect live web server configuration errors, DNS spoofing, or SSL expiry
  • ✕No client-facing agency PDF reports

The WeSecureX Advantage

  • ✓Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) against real running web applications
  • ✓Full attack surface discovery: subdomains, open ports, exposed APIs, and headers
  • ✓Zero per-seat penalties: invite your whole team or share white-label reports
  • ✓Live cURL proofs showing real HTTP responses and headers
