DAST

Dynamic Application Security Testing

Definition

DAST tests running applications for vulnerabilities by simulating external attacks. Unlike SAST, it doesn't require access to source code — it interacts with the application through its exposed interfaces.

DAST excels at finding runtime issues like authentication flaws, server misconfigurations, and injection vulnerabilities in deployed environments.
