Application Security Testing (AST)
AST is testing your apps for security bugs - using different methods to find different types of vulnerabilities.
What is Application Security Testing (AST)?
Comprehensive approach to identifying security vulnerabilities in applications using multiple testing techniques.
Why Should You Care?
No single technique finds all vulnerabilities. Comprehensive AST combines SAST, DAST, IAST, and SCA.
