Web Applications
A Web Application is an application that is accessed over the web through a URL and provides functionality to users or other systems via a browser or web-based interface. Web applications typically run on web servers or cloud platforms and may include login portals, dashboards, APIs exposed through HTTP endpoints, or business applications delivered over the internet or internal networks.
Web applications are treated as assets, and each web application asset represents a specific web endpoint or application instance, allowing organizations to track its criticality, understand where it is hosted, identify discovery sources, and associate ownership and tags. This visibility helps teams manage web application exposure, prioritize security efforts, and maintain an accurate inventory of web-facing applications across the environment.
The Web Applications tab provides details of all web applications discovered across your environment. This view helps you identify, track, and analyze web-facing applications that are accessible through URLs and exposed over HTTP or HTTPS.
The following information is displayed for each web application:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | URL or identifier of the web application. |
| Criticality | Business criticality score assigned to the web application. |
| TruRisk™ Score | Risk-based TruRisk™ score for the application. |
| Asset Type | Indicates the asset type as Web Application. |
| Last Scanned | Date and time when the application was last scanned, if applicable. |
| Last Updated | Date and time when the application details were last updated. |
| Sources | Discovery sources that detected the web application. |
| Tags | Tags associated with the web application for organization and filtering. |
Group Web Applications
Use the Group By option to organize web applications based on supported attributes.
| Attribute | Description |
