Dynamic Application Security Testing

 Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) is a security checking process that uses penetration tests on applications while they are running. The more applications that are used to optimize a site, the more potential vulnerabilities to cyber attack. 

Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) takes place once applications have gone into production or entered runtime, following earlier lifecycle stages. These runtime tests are important in catching cyber attacks and threats that may only be obvious once an application has gone live.

DAST continually scans websites as they evolve and continues after execution, allowing for automatic detection and assessment of anomalous behavior and code alternations. Once a vulnerability is discovered, automated alerts can be prioritized.

Together with Static Application Security Testing (SAST), DAST is vital for web application security program effectiveness, since some errors and vulnerabilities only appear once production has started.

WhiteHat Sentinel Dynamic is part of a full suite of application security services provided by the WhiteHat Sentinel Application Security Platform.  Learn more about how Sentinel can protect your applications across the whole software development lifecycle, and check out how our Threat Research Center team works to verify all vulnerabilities, delivering near zero false positives so that you can focus on the real vulnerabilities that matter most.

This trial is not a scaled-down version of our product – it’s the full Sentinel Dynamic/Threat Research Center team experience for a month. After the first 30 days free, you can opt out and stop using Sentinel. If you keep going with it, you’ll get 13 months for the cost of 12.
