How G2 defines Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)
Dynamic application security testing (DAST) tools automate security tests for a variety of real-world threats. These tools typically test HTTP and HTML interfaces of web applications. DAST is a black-box testing method, meaning it is performed from the outside. Companies use these tools to identify vulnerabilities in their applications from an external perspective to better simulate threats most easily accessed by hackers outside their organization. There are similarities between DAST tools and other application security and vulnerability management solutions, but most other technologies perform internal tests and code analysis instead of focusing on black-box testing.
How G2 defines Vulnerability Scanner Software
Vulnerability scanners are tools that constantly monitor applications and networks to identify security vulnerabilities. They work by maintaining an up-to-date database of known vulnerabilities, and conduct scans to identify potential exploits. Vulnerability scanners are used by companies to test applications and networks against known vulnerabilities and to identify new vulnerabilities. The scanners typically produce analytical reports detailing the state of an application or network security and provide recommendations to remedy known issues. Some vulnerability scanners work in a similar manner to dynamic application security testing (DAST) tools, but scan tools instead of mimicking attacks or performing penetration tests.
