What is Application Security Testing (AST)?

AST is a systematic process of identifying, classifying, and prioritizing vulnerabilities in your applications. These vulnerabilities can be coding errors, configuration weaknesses, or design flaws that malicious actors can exploit to gain unauthorized access, steal data, or disrupt functionality.

Benefits of Application Security Testing

Reduce Security Risks
Protect Sensitive Data
Enhance User Confidence
Improve Compliance

Types of Application Security Testing

SAST

Static Application Security Testing (SAST)

Analyzes the source code of your application to identify potential vulnerabilities without running the application itself.

DAST

Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)

Tests the running application to detect vulnerabilities that might be triggered by specific user inputs or actions.

IAST

Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST)

Combines elements of SAST and DAST, providing a more comprehensive assessment by analyzing both code and runtime behavior.
