Web application vulnerabilities account for 43% of data breaches, driving the need for proactive identification and prevention. As modern development embraces CI/CD, comprehensive AppSec programs integrate automated tools like SAST, DAST, SCA, and MPT across the SDLC. DAST, focusing on runtime vulnerabilities, simulates attacks while the code runs, identifying issues like misconfigurations and weak authentication. DAST tools, lacking access to source code, perform external attack simulations, providing insights into application security.
