DAST
Find and fix exploitable runtime vulnerabilities
Simulate real-world attacks on web applications and APIs so you can understand your true exposure and rapidly remediate risk.






Application security coverage from code to runtime
Prioritize exploitable runtime vulnerabilities
DAST takes a “black box” testing approach, simulating attacks on a running application to identify vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.
Each scan attempts safe, read-only exploits, so you have visibility into exploitable runtime findings and can accurately prioritize and remediate these risks.
Uncover security blindspots
Accurately map entry points in your running applications and discover unknown assets, including those that have been abandoned, forgotten, or created unofficially, giving you visibility into your true security risk and exposure.
Connect code to runtime risk and fix what’s truly exploitable
Remediate faster by correlating SAST and DAST findings. Mend SAST flags vulnerabilities with confirmed runtime exploitability—matching issues by CWE, URL, and API endpoint—so you can focus on real risks, not false positives.
Automate dynamic scans in test and production
Find vulnerabilities, verify their accuracy, and route issues to developers without manual intervention. By automating these three steps, you can save your teams hundreds of hours each month.
