Revving the (Scan) Engine

At the heart of any DAST product is a scan engine that needs to be fast and accurate while keeping up with how the latest applications and APIs are being built and attacked. As AI-assisted development increases both the volume of code and its opacity, having an engine that can automatically and reliably test for security flaws without holding up releases is crucial for any serious DAST solution—and for its users.

 

In this episode of AppSec Serialized, Dan Murphy and Ryan Bergquist look at the evolution of DAST and discuss how Invicti has combined the best features of Netsparker and Acunetix to create a new scan engine powering its AppSec platform.
