Automated Pentesting vs Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)

Описание: Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) and Static Code Analyzers (SAST) tooling are not always useful for red teamers since it can't analyze all contemporary web application functions to provide a white-box view of web apps especially to realize authentication & authorization flaws.

With DAST evaluation, the process of integrating business logic conformance checks into authenticated scans and detecting access control breaches becomes more difficult.

Moreover, removing false positives is not simple, and finally, DAST scan in the SDLC after CI/CD process jeopardizes developer productivity and shift-left ideals.
