DAST is a type of software application testing that focuses on evaluating the security of a web application from the outside-in. It does not require access to the application’s source code. It involves actively scanning a running web application to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses that could be exploited by hackers. It simulates real-world attack scenarios to identify issues such as input validation problems, authentication flaws, and other security vulnerabilities.DAST tools send malicious inputs and test the application’s response to assess its security. These tools can be automated and are helpful for continuous monitoring of an application’s security. They provide a practical assessment of an application’s security posture from an external perspective.
Penetration testing, often referred to as ethical hacking, is a security assessment technique that simulates real-world attacks on a web application.The goal of penetration testing is to discover security weaknesses that may not be detected by automated tools. Testers actively seek vulnerabilities in areas like authentication, authorization, data validation, and other critical security aspects. Penetration testing provides a comprehensive understanding of an application’s security posture and can uncover both known and unknown vulnerabilities. It helps organizations proactively identify and mitigate security risks.
SAST, also known as static analysis, is a type of security testing that examines the source code and binary code of a web application to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses.SAST tools analyze the source code, looking for coding practices, architectural flaws, and security vulnerabilities. Common issues include code injection, insecure configurations, and access control problems.It is used to find vulnerabilities at an early stage of development, making it an essential component of secure software development practices. Developers can address issues before they manifest in the running application.
