A "ZAP" can refer to different things depending on the context:
- Zapier : Zapier is an automated workflow that connects your apps together. It consists of a trigger step and one or more action steps. When you publish your Zap, it will run the action steps every time the trigger event occurs
. You can create Zaps using an AI-powered Zap builder, pre-built Zap templates, or by building them from scratch
- ZAP Application Security Testing : ZAP (sometimes referred to as Zed Attack Proxy or OWASP ZAP) is an open-source application security testing tool. It is popular among software development teams and penetration testers for identifying web application security vulnerabilities
. ZAP sends requests to the application that mimic the attacks a malicious attacker would use and highlights any potential vulnerabilities based on the response received from the application
- Zero-hour auto purge (ZAP) in Office 365 : ZAP is a protection feature in Exchange Online Protection (EOP) that moves delivered messages in Office 365 mailboxes to the Junk Email folder or quarantine if those messages are suspected of spam or malware
- Zap as an interjection : In everyday language, "ZAP" is an interjection used to express a sound made by or as if by a gun, a sudden or instantaneous occurrence, or a sudden concentrated application of force or energy
