Applications have become the new frontline of cybersecurity. Organizations today run on apps, whether it’s customer-facing portals, mobile apps, or internal enterprise applications.

That’s why Application Security Testing (AST) platforms are no longer optional. They are essential for: Identifying security flaws early in development. Preventing vulnerabilities from being released into production. Maintaining compliance with regulatory standards like PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR. AST solutions cover different dimensions: Static Application Security Testing (SAST): Scans source code before an application runs. Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST): Tests applications during runtime. Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST): Combines static and dynamic approac...
