What is Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)?

Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) is a powerful methodology for identifying vulnerabilities in your web applications while they are running. Unlike Static Application Security Testing (SAST), which examines source code, DAST takes an “outside-in” approach. This means it actively tests the application during runtime, simulating real-world attacks to uncover security flaws such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and misconfigurations.

By running simulated attacks, DAST tools identify weaknesses hackers could exploit in a production environment. It doesn’t require access to source code, making it effective even late in the development cycle or after deployment. DAST is a critical component of a complete application security strategy, as it helps ensure your applications are not only secure in theory but also in practice. Secure your applications with Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST). Identify security risks in runtime environments and strengthen web & mobile security.
