As businesses grow and rely more on applications to conduct their day-to-day operations, the need for dynamic application security testing (DAST) becomes increasingly important. DAST is a process by which vulnerabilities in web applications are discovered and remediated while the applications are still in use.
What should I know about this?
While there are many different ways to conduct DAST, some best practices should be followed to ensure that the process is effective.
The first best practice is to perform dynamic scans regularly. This will help ensure that any new vulnerabilities introduced into the application are discovered and remediated as quickly as possible. Additionally, regular dynamic scanning can help identify potential issues before they become vulnerabilities.
Another best practice is to use multiple dynamic scanners. This helps to improve accuracy and coverage, as each scanner may identify different types of vulnerabilities. Additionally, multiple scanners can help speed up the dynamic scanning process.
