DAST
Dynamic Application Security Testing
Definition
DAST tests running applications for vulnerabilities by simulating external attacks. Unlike SAST, it doesn't require access to source code — it interacts with the application through its exposed interfaces.
DAST excels at finding runtime issues like authentication flaws, server misconfigurations, and injection vulnerabilities in deployed environments.
Can this ship? Are we exposed? Can you prove it?
Every CISO is asking these three questions. We answer them with facts, not guesses, from repository to runtime.
