Massive Growth for DYNAMIC APPLICATION SECURITY TESTING Industry

A DAST tool (Dynamic Application Security Testing) is a program that communicates with a web application via the web front end to identify potential security holes in the web application and weaknesses in the architecture. It performs a black box test. Unlike static tools used to test application security, DAST tools do not have access to the source code and therefore detect vulnerabilities by actually carrying out attacks.

Accenture (Republic of Ireland), WhiteHat Security (US), IBM (US), Veracode (US), Synopsys (US), Micro Focus (UK), Tieto (Finland), Pradeo (France), Trustwave (US), Rapid7 (US)

DAST tools enable sophisticated scans that detect vulnerabilities with minimal user interaction once configured with host name, crawling parameters and authentication data. These tools attempt to detect vulnerabilities in query strings, headers, fragments, verbs (GET / POST / PUT) and DOM injection.

Customers benefit from the convenience of these applications and the tacit risk that private information stored in web applications could be compromised by hackers and insider leaks. According to the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, more than 18 million customer records were compromised in 2012 due to inadequate security controls over corporate data and web applications.
