SAST vs. DAST: A Comparison

SAST (Static Analysis)

Analysis performed on source code, bytecode, or binary without running the application. Detects vulnerabilities during the development phase (shift-left approach). Highly effective at finding code-level issues such as SQL injection, XSS, buffer overflow, and insecure cryptography. Can be integrated into a CI/CD pipeline to run automatically on every commit.

DAST (Dynamic Analysis)

Detects vulnerabilities by simulating attacks against a running application from the outside. Requires no access to source code — also known as black-box testing. Effective at finding authentication bypasses, authorization issues, runtime vulnerabilities, and misconfigurations.

Vulnerabilities We Detect

Comprehensive analysis aligned with OWASP Top 10 and CWE/CVE categories.

Injection Vulnerabilities

Detection of SQL, LDAP, XPath, OS command injection, and template injection vulnerabilities.

Authentication Issues

Detection of weak password policies, session management flaws, and broken authentication.

Sensitive Data Exposure

Detection of unencrypted data transmission, personal data leakage in logs, and insecure storage.

XXE Vulnerabilities

Detection of XML processing code vulnerable to XML External Entity attacks.

Vulnerable Components

Detection of libraries, frameworks, and dependencies with known CVEs (SCA).

Security Misconfigurations

Detection of default credentials, unnecessarily open ports, and incorrect security configurations.

Supported Technologies

Java C / C++ Python JavaScript / Node.js PHP .NET / C# Go Ruby Swift Kotlin TypeScript Rust
