Rules Engine add-on

Define rules that kick in when you upload the output of a scanner. Akin to your email client processing rules, the Rules Engine allows you, among other actions, to:

  • Tag findings based on their fields (e.g. tag as Critical if CVSSv2 is > 9)
  • Merge several findings into a single one (e.g. group all those pesky “missing patches” entries under a single finding)
  • Replace the default description with your own. That’s right, every time Burp finds XSS, you will get a finding with your team’s custom Description / Recommendation for this vulnerability class.

Business Intelligence add-on

Most likely you’re running 100s of projects each year. The Business Intelligence add-on helps you make sense of the wealth of information that is at your fingertips but that most likely you haven’t been tracking. These are some of the questions you will be able to start answering:

  • What do you know about the types of projects you’re running (what percentage is webapps vs infrastructure)?
  • What types of clients are you serving? In what industry?
  • How are the most profitable client types?
  • What percentage of your projects is under-scoped or over-scoped?

New admin layout

Yes, we finally have a layout like it’s 2015 (well maybe 2013), but a great improvement over our bare-bones previous one. Here are just a couple of quick examples:
