Why you need IAST

Combine static and dynamic analysis techniques to provide real-time vulnerability detection and response

Ensuring the security of your software applications is essential to protect sensitive data, maintain the trust of your customers, and comply with regulatory requirements. But too often, gaps in security aren’t identified until after a costly cyberattack or breach. To prevent these attacks before they occur, you need application security tools like interactive application security testing (IAST).

IAST combines static and dynamic analysis techniques to provide real-time vulnerability detection and response. With IAST, you can combine both static and dynamic assessment techniques to identify security issues early in development and simulate real-world attack scenarios.

In this post, you’ll learn the following:

• What IAST is, including the difference between static and dynamic security assessment techniques
• Benefits of IAST
• Use cases for IAST
