Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
Static Application Security Testing (SAST) is a white-box testing methodology that analyzes application source code, bytecode, or binaries without executing the program to identify security vulnerabilities early in the development lifecycle.
Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST)
Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) combines elements of SAST and DAST by using agents instrumented within the application to analyze code behavior during runtime testing, providing accurate vulnerability detection with low false positives.
Penetration Testing
Penetration testing (pen testing) is a simulated cyberattack against your computer system, network, or web application to identify exploitable vulnerabilities. Ethical hackers use the same tools and techniques as malicious attackers to find weaknesses before they can be exploited.
