Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) explained
IAST tests applications from the inside while they run, catching flaws SAST and DAST miss alone. Here's how it works, how Checkmarx uses it, and where gaps remain.
What is DAST? Dynamic Application Security Testing explained
DAST tests running applications like an attacker would. Learn how it works, how it differs from SAST, and where it falls short.
SAST vs DAST: static and dynamic application security tes...
SAST catches insecure code before deploy; DAST tests running apps after. We compare both against JFrog's Artifactory-first model and Safeguard's supply-chain-native approach.
Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)
DAST tests running apps like an attacker would. Learn how it works, what it catches and misses, and how PCI DSS 4.0 now mandates it.
Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST)
IAST instruments running apps to catch injection flaws and unsafe data flows in real time. Here's how it works, its limits, and where it fits.
SAST vs DAST: Key Differences
SAST reads code before it runs; DAST attacks it while it's live. Here's what each catches, what each misses, and when to run both.
Static Analysis vs Dynamic Analysis
Static analysis reads code before it runs; dynamic analysis watches it execute. Here's how the two differ, catch different bugs, and work best together.
What is Dynamic Code Analysis
Dynamic code analysis tests running applications to catch exploitable vulnerabilities that static scans and manifest files alone can easily miss.
