Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) is the process of analyzing a web application through the front-end to find vulnerabilities through simulated attacks. This type of approach evaluates the application from the “outside in” by attacking an application like a malicious user would. After a DAST scanner performs these attacks, it looks for results that are not part of the expected result set and identifies security vulnerabilities. “Black box” testing looks at an application from the outside in, examines its running state, and observes its responses to simulated attacks made by the tool.

DAST should be utilized outside of QA and given to developers as part of the CI/CD workflow.
Complete API security for any application, including GraphQL, gRPC, REST, and SOAP.
Use automated and orchestrated scans to leverage dynamic analysis at scale.

Web-Inspect is an automated dynamic testing solution that provides comprehensive vulnerability detection.
Web inspection is a crucial aspect of cybersecurity because it allows organizations to identify and mitigate potential security threats to their web applications, websites, and networks.
Web inspection involves the analysis of web traffic and data to identify vulnerabilities, malware, and other security threats.

API Vulnerability Scanning

API Vulnerability Scanning allows an understanding of common security vulnerabilities which may be present throughout an Organization.
Security and vulnerability scanning engines specifically designed for APIs, it is possible to have continuous security visibility of your API exposures on the internet.
API vulnerability assessment detects the most recent vulnerabilities and on an on-demand basis.
All discovered flaws as a result of the API Security testing are reported to minimize them and improve overall security posture.

Test the most critical portions of your apps with sub-five-minute scan times using the FAST Proxy.
DAST is an important aspect of DevOps, as it helps to identify and fix security vulnerabilities in applications during the development process.
Integrating DAST into DevOps can be challenging, as it requires testing to be performed quickly and frequently to keep up with the speed of DevOps.

The “Sec” in DevSecOps stands for security.
Developer-driven DAST means testing early, testing often, and integrating DAST in Agile and Scrum testing cycles.
It emphasizes the importance of integrating security practices into the DevOps process to ensure that software and systems are secure from the beginning of the development cycle to the end.

Scan Central DAST enables scan automation, macro auto generation, and horizontal scaling to reduce burdens on enterprise security teams.
