# WhiteHat Sentinel

## Overview

WhiteHat Sentinel is a cloud-based web application security platform that helps organizations identify, manage, and remediate security vulnerabilities. It offers automated security testing for websites and web applications, focusing on detecting common vulnerabilities like cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, and other security risks.

Nucleus enables you to ingest your WhiteHat Sentinel vulnerability data directly into your Nucleus console using an automated connector.

At this point in time, the WhiteHat Sentinel connector supports importing results from Sentinel Dynamic.

## Connector Setup
