What is Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)?

Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) is a type of security testing that analyzes an application while it is running. It simulates real-world attacks to identify vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and broken authentication. DAST tools typically interact with the application through its user interface, examining the application's behavior and responses to various inputs to detect security flaws. This type of testing is often performed later in the software development lifecycle, after the application has been deployed to a test environment.

What other technologies are related to Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)?

Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) Competitor Technologies

SAST analyzes code statically, before runtime, to find vulnerabilities. This contrasts with DAST, which analyzes running applications. They both aim to find vulnerabilities, but at different phases.
