IAST Insights | Sumble

What is IAST?

Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) is a software testing methodology that analyzes code from within a running application. IAST tools use instrumentation to monitor application behavior, detect vulnerabilities, and provide real-time feedback to developers. It combines elements of static and dynamic analysis, offering broader coverage and more accurate results than either method alone. IAST is commonly used to identify vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and authentication issues during the software development lifecycle.

What other technologies are related to IAST?

IAST Competitor Technologies

DAST

Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) identifies vulnerabilities in running applications, often from the outside, which offers similar but different detection compared to IAST's inside-out approach.
