Summary
DAST is crucial to any comprehensive application security program. DAST tools simulate attacks against web applications to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses that attackers can exploit.
Let’s recap the DAST concepts and best practices:
- Set up a suitable, isolated testing environment that closely mirrors your production environment
- Choose the right DAST tool based on your application’s architecture, technology stack, and specific security concerns
- Configure the DAST tool for optimal performance by customizing scan policies, setting up authentication and authorization, and integrating with CI/CD pipelines
- Monitor and analyze the results to address identified vulnerabilities and track the progress of your security efforts
It is important to note that ongoing application security testing is essential to ensure that web applications are secure and free from vulnerabilities. DAST should be performed regularly and as part of a broader...
