DAST — Dynamic Application Security Testing
Black-box scanning of deployed applications and APIs.
What it is
DAST attacks running applications from the outside — crawling, fuzzing and probing for injection, misconfiguration, authentication and session flaws in the deployed state. It complements SAST by finding what only appears at runtime, and complements pentesting with continuous coverage between manual tests.
Coverage
- Authenticated and unauthenticated scanning
- API and single-page-application coverage
- Scan scheduling across environments
- Result validation and deduplication
- Integration with defect tracking
How we deliver
- Scope — targets, credentials and frequency.
- Configure — tuned scans per application.
- Run — scheduled continuous scanning.
- Validate — confirm real findings.
- Track — remediation SLAs.
Outcomes
- Continuous runtime coverage
- Validated, trackable findings
- Pentest-grade issues found earlier
- Evidence of ongoing testing
