GuardRails DAST: find vulnerabilities before your attackers.
Our state-of-the-art DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing) solution is designed to keep the noise low and integrate seamlessly with the other security scanning techniques offered by the GuardRails platform.
Vital to AppSec
Hackers and malicious actors are always on the lookout for vulnerabilities in your applications, making it essential to stay proactive and vigilant. DAST empowers you to identify vulnerabilities so that they can be fixed before being exploited, providing a solid defense against cyber attacks.
DAST is a security testing method that involves analyzing a running application to identify potential vulnerabilities. DAST is typically performed in a staging environment that closely mirrors the production environment and simulates attacks against an application to uncover security flaws that are exploitable.
Maximum Protection
GuardRails’ DAST goes beyond the surface to perform deep, comprehensive scans of your applications and offers Just-in-Time (JIT) guidance, giving you the tools you need to secure your applications against cyber criminals.
Minimal noise
GuardRails' DAST delivers actionable insights and relevant information, enabling you to prioritize and address security weaknesses without getting bogged down by unnecessary distractions.
Collaborative security
GuardRails' DAST empowers you to stay proactive against security risks, giving you the tools you need to ensure a safer future for your business. It bridges the gap between security and development teams to create a stronger and more unified defense against the ever-present threats in the digital landscape.
Why GuardRails DAST?
With support for a wide range of programming languages and frameworks, GuardRails can be easily incorporated into your software projects, allowing you to focus on building secure software.
Runtime vulnerability detection
DAST complements static application security testing (SAST). Whereas SAST analyzes the application's source code, DAST identifies vulnerabilities that are present when the application is running, providing a realistic view of the application's security posture.
Simulation of real-world attacks
By simulating attacks, DAST can help your team understand how an attacker might exploit application security vulnerabilities. It enables organizations to detect and address security flaws that may have been missed during the development process.
Technology independent
GuardRails DAST does not rely on the application's underlying technology stack, other than the fact that it needs to speak HTTP, making it a versatile tool that can be used on virtually any web application or API.
Compliance
In addition to its security benefits, DAST is often required by regulatory standards such as PCI DSS and HIPAA. By implementing DAST as part of their AppSec program, organizations can not only reduce their risk of cyber attacks but also meet their compliance requirements.
Just-in-Time training
GuardRails provides instant, specific, actionable vulnerability remediation advice and a link to Just-in-Time Training (JIT). Should they need it, the developer can then educate and upskill themselves while fixing the vulnerability without losing focus and all from within their familiar workflow.
