DAST New 2025

DAST helps you find and fix runtime web app vulnerabilities.

Tests your applications from the outside

DAST tools can find issues and attacks other testing methodologies may overlook, because they're testing the same interfaces that attackers would use to break into a service.

Reports only the issues that represent a real risk

Instead of simply reporting vulnerabilities that may or may not pose a risk, DAST tools report only issues that represent real risks.

Probes for critical security risks early on

DAST tools come into play as early as the building phase of your SDLC, and can simulate attacker behaviour without resorting to lengthy pen testing.

Provides comprehensive coverage for complex workflows

DAST tools reveal risks that develop due to complex interplay of modern frameworks, microservices, APIs, etc.

Less likely to report false positives

DAST tools are less likely to report false positives, thus avoiding costly, needless delays if a vulnerability doesn’t pose a significant risk.

Language agnostic

DAST tools don’t need to have the same programming language or framework as the application you're scanning.

Offers more real-world benefits

Since DAST tools don’t have access to your source code, they act just like a real hacker.

Streamlines compliance

DAST tools can assist you with PCI compliance and other regulatory reporting.

Minimizes configuration flaws

DAST tools can help your devs spot configuration mistakes or issues, as well as highlight specific user experience troubles.
