Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)
Every minute your application is live, attackers are probing it for weaknesses. Static checks and annual penetration tests are no longer enough.
Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) continuously tests your running applications and APIs by simulating attacks, revealing exploitable vulnerabilities before attackers find them.

Why DAST Matters for Application Security?
As applications grow more complex and threats evolve, DAST ensures that your security keeps pace.
Real-time Detection
Identify vulnerabilities while applications are running, catching issues that static analysis misses.
Comprehensive coverage
Detects a wide range of threats, including SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), authentication flaws, insecure redirects, and session management weaknesses.
Continuous monitoring
Integrate seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines, ensuring every new build is tested before deployment.
Scalable testing
Whether you’re a startup or an enterprise, DAST adapts to applications of any size or complexity.
Why Legacy DAST No Longer Works?
Many security platforms treat DAST as an add-on rather than a core capability. This approach creates fragmented workflows, operational inefficiencies, and missed risks that slow teams down and increase exposure. Legacy DAST wasn’t designed for today’s speed, scale, or complexity, making it harder to validate vulnerabilities with confidence.
Endless False Positives
Legacy DAST floods teams with false positives, creating alert fatigue and eroding trust in security tools. When everything looks critical, real vulnerabilities get ignored, sometimes until they’re exploited.
Invisible Attack Surfaces
Traditional scanners fail to discover dynamic and unknown APIs, leaving critical services and business logic completely untested. These blind spots often become the easiest entry points for attackers.
Incompatible with Modern DevOps
Slow scan times, fragile CI/CD integrations, and manual remediation workflows don’t scale. Instead of enabling fast, secure releases, legacy DAST becomes a task that drains resources.

Kratikal’s Approach for DAST
Automated DAST Scanning
- Execute controlled automated scans using industry-standard DAST tools like AutoSecT.
- Identify common vulnerabilities, including OWASP Top 10 risks.
- Optimize scan configurations to minimize false positives and operational impact.
Manual Security Testing & Validation
- Manually validate all high and medium-risk findings.
- Perform targeted testing for complex vulnerabilities not detectable via automation, including:
- Broken Access Control (IDOR)
- Business logic flaws
- Authentication and authorization bypass
- CSRF and file handling issues
Exploitation & Impact Analysis
- Safely exploit confirmed vulnerabilities to assess real-world impact.
- Evaluate data exposure, privilege escalation, and unauthorized actions.
- Avoid data modification or service disruption during testing.
Risk Rating & Standards Alignment
- Vulnerabilities are rated based on CVSS v3.1 and OWASP risk methodology.
- Findings are mapped to:
- OWASP Top 10
- OWASP ASVS (where applicable)
Reporting & Deliverables
- Detailed vulnerability findings with:
- Description and impact
- Affected URLs/endpoints
- Proof of Concept (PoC)
- Clear remediation recommendations
- Risk-based prioritization to support effective remediation.

What Sets Our DAST Apart?
Comprehensive Vulnerability Detection
See your applications the way attackers do
At Kratikal, our DAST capability uncovers real, exploitable vulnerabilities by testing applications and APIs in their running state. Attack simulations help uncover security gaps that static testing and code reviews often miss.
Our assessments cover critical threat vectors such as SQL injection, XSS, authentication and authorization flaws, session management issues, etc.
Seamless CI/CD Pipeline Integration
Security that moves at the speed of development
Kratikal’s DAST integrates seamlessly with modern CI/CD and DevSecOps pipelines, enabling automated security testing without slowing development. Scans run at every build, deployment, or release to detect vulnerabilities early and reduce remediation costs.
This approach helps organizations shift security left, avoid last-minute release delays, and ensure every deployment meets security and compliance requirements.
Continuous Testing & Intelligent Retesting
Maintain security as applications evolve
Application environments and attack techniques evolve constantly. Kratikal’s DAST enables continuous and on-demand scanning before and after deployment to keep pace with these changes.
Automated retesting confirms successful remediation, helping teams track progress and maintain a consistent security posture across rapid development cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to perform a DAST security scan?
You can use AutoSecT’s Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) tool to perform a DAST scan. Simply enter the URL of your web application, and AutoSecT will crawl it to identify potential attack points and generate a complete map of all application pages.
What reports and deliverables are provided after a DAST scan?
You will receive detailed reports including vulnerability descriptions, affected URLs or APIs, proof-of-concept evidence, impact analysis, and clear remediation guidance, prioritized based on real risk and business impact.
Will DAST testing disrupt live applications?
No. DAST uses safe, non-intrusive testing to validate real attack scenarios without modifying data or disrupting services.
