What is dynamic application security testing (DAST)?

Dynamic application security testing (DAST) is a method of testing the security of an application while it’s running. DAST tools test web applications during their operating states to find security vulnerabilities using simulated attacks, such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and insecure server configuration. This application security (AppSec) testing type mimics a malicious hacker to find security issues in the running application, so developers can fix them before the application is deployed to the public.

What is an enterprise application?

An enterprise application is specialized software that helps organizations integrate and automate their core processes, streamline workflows, improve efficiency, and gain valuable insight into their data and performance. Get an overview of enterprise applications and learn why they are important for managing specific operations.

Application security testing

Application security testing (AST) is the process of making applications more resilient to security threats by evaluating the application to identify potential vulnerabilities that can be exploited. Although organizations have invested billions of dollars into application security, web applications are still vulnerable to a range of cyberattacks. To keep software safe, it’s important to use application security testing tools.
