Challenges

To discover parameter tampering vulnerabilities, a certain action needed to be performed again and again in the entire application.
In cases of foreign vendors' tools, communication with the vendors was not smooth; it often took days to get a response from the vendor when inquiring, and in many cases, was hard to obtain an appropriate response.

Benefits

Vex has highly increased efficiency due to its ability to scan for parameter tampering vulnerabilities with the same level of accuracy as manual scans.
UBsecure quickly responds to inquiries, and always gives reliable answers. This helps engineers work more efficiently and grows the company's trust among the clients.
