Dast (Dynamic Application Security Testing)

Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) is a method used to identify security vulnerabilities in a software application while it is running. It simulates attacks from outside hackers to uncover issues like data leaks or weak points that could be exploited. Unlike static testing, which analyzes code without executing it, DAST tests the actual application in real-time, providing a practical view of security risks. It helps developers find and fix vulnerabilities before hackers can exploit them, ensuring the application is safer for users and protect sensitive information.
