Increasing number of cyber-attacks is driving market growth of dynamic application security testing (DAST)

Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) is a highly reliable method that validates the program and web application against a set of XML vulnerability scans. Unlike with SAST, however, DAST detects the vulnerability even without executing the affected code. They are useful in improving the security of the organization by providing insights regarding the behavior of web applications during the production process. Dynamic application security testing is a means of ensuring that a system, its assets, and modes of operation are secure from various security threats. It is carried out at several levels. At the simplest level, static application security testing is aimed at ensuring the functionality of the software and to test how well it runs once development is complete. The second level involves testing for the system's security and integrity, which may involve performing denial-of-service attacks or even attacks against the confidentiality of data.

The growing risk associated with the business due to application vulnerabilities coupled with the strict government regulations is predominantly fueling the market growth. Moreover, the increasing level of cyber-attacks is also contributing to the market growth of Dynamic Application Security Testing. According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the data breaches exposed 4.1 billion records in the first half of 2019.
