IAST vs DAST and SAST Making Sense of it All
To keep up with the fast pace of releases and the speed of DevOps, organizations need accurate and automated security testing tools that can easily scale and produce actionable results.Historically programs were characterised by the use of Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools which analyse the code, and Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) tools that simulate attacks. But DAST tools are slow rendering them unfit for today's DevOps processes - this is where the next-generation Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) comes in.
