STATIC VS DYNAMIC SECURITY TESTING

This slide deck covers the differences between static (SAST) and dynamic (DAST) application security testing. It provides relevant information for those aiming to enhance their cybersecurity defenses while simultaneously demonstrating the importance of application security testing (AST). Starting with an overview of cybersecurity attacks and software vulnerability exploitation, its later transitions into AST tools. An overview of SAST is followed by an in-depth look at Veracode’s and Reshift’s solutions, highlighting their key features. DAST is covered next, along with a brief discussion of HCL’s and Detectify’s implementations. For each type of AST tool, strengths and weaknesses are covered, and an emphasis on the importance of combining both approaches emerges
