Test running apps. Find real flaws.
Dynamic Application Security Testing
Continuously scan running web applications and APIs for vulnerabilities that only appear at runtime — authentication flaws, injection risks, misconfigurations, and more.
The problem
Runtime risks stay invisible to static scans.
Many critical vulnerabilities only appear when an application is running — broken authentication, session issues, injection flaws, and misconfigured APIs. Static analysis alone can’t catch them. DAST tests the live application the way an attacker would.
One operating picture
Continuous DAST. Real application risk.
MadStack DAST continuously probes your running applications and APIs so runtime vulnerabilities are found and fixed before attackers exploit them.
Scan running applications
Test live web apps and APIs for injection, authentication flaws, session issues, and other runtime vulnerabilities.
Authenticated testing
Crawl and test authenticated areas of the application to uncover risks that only appear after login.
Integrate into CI/CD
Run DAST scans as part of your pipeline so new runtime issues are caught before release.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
SAST analyzes source code without running the application. DAST tests the running application from the outside, the way an attacker would, and finds issues that only appear at runtime.
Yes. MadStack DAST supports authenticated scanning so it can crawl and test areas that require login, sessions, or tokens.
Best practice is to run DAST regularly — ideally on every major release or continuously in CI/CD — so new runtime vulnerabilities are caught quickly as the application changes.
