Veracode Dynamic Application Security Testing

Veracode Dynamic Application Security Testing

Veracode’s automated dynamic analysis security testing (DAST) or black-box testing empowers companies to identify and remediate security issues in their running web applications before hackers can exploit them. By dynamically testing web applications at run-time, Veracode inspects web applications the same way a hacker would attack them – providing accurate and actionable vulnerability detection.

What is Dynamic Application Security Testing?

Dynamic analysis, or Dynamic Application Security Testing, is the testing and evaluation of a program by executing data in real-time. The goal is to find security errors in a program while it is running. Dynamically testing web applications inspects applications the same way a hacker would attack them – providing the most accurate and actionable vulnerability detection available.

Veracode has been positioned as a VISIONARY company for dynamic testing of software applications by Gartner in their inaugural Magic Quadrant Report for Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST). Gartner is a leading independent IT research and advisory company.

A Dynamic Analysis security scanner can facilitate the automated detection of security vulnerabilities within a web application. A Dynamic Analysis test is often required to comply with various regulatory requirements. Dynamic Analysis scanners can look for a wide variety of vulnerabilities, including:

• Input/Output validation: (Cross-site scripting, SQL Injection, etc.)
• Specific application problems
• Server configuration mistakes/errors/version

Why Veracode for Dynamic Application Security Testing?

• Delivery Platform: Delivering both SAST and DAST through a single cloud platform is the right solution for customers as it is cost-effective (no software to buy or install) and avoids fragmentation of vulnerability information and remediation prioritization.

• Enterprise Security Intelligence: Customers can take advantage of Veracode's analytics capabilities to analyze how their applications' security posture changes over time, benchmark their performance against their peers and improve internal decision making.

• Dynamic^MP: Combining our new dynamic analysis engine with elastic cloud computing to deliver a service such as Dynamic^MP that significantly shrinks the time it takes to discover highly critical vulnerabilities is an extremely valuable service for customers

• Research: Customers can keep abreast of the changing threat landscape with Veracode's research published in our State of Software Security reports.
