Dynamic Application Security Testing

Green Circle Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST): Uncover Vulnerabilities in Your Running Applications

 

Green Circle's Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) services provide a crucial layer of security by assessing your web applications and APIs while they are running. Unlike static analysis (SAST), which examines code at rest, DAST simulates real-world attacks against your live applications, identifying vulnerabilities that can only be discovered in a production or production-like environment. Our approach combines automated scanning with expert analysis to provide comprehensive coverage and accurate results.

How Green Circle DAST Works:

  • Black-Box Testing: We approach your application from an external attacker's perspective, with no prior knowledge of the internal code or architecture.
  • Automated Scanning: We utilize industry-leading DAST tools to automatically scan your application for a wide range of vulnerabilities, including:
    • SQL Injection
    • Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
    • Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
    • Authentication and Authorization Flaws
    • Session Management Issues
    • Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR)
    • Security Misconfigurations
    • Exposure of Sensitive Data
    • Vulnerabilities in third-party components and libraries
  • Expert Analysis: Our security experts analyze the scan results, validate findings, eliminate false positives, and prioritize vulnerabilities based on their potential impact.
  • Targeted Testing: We can tailor our DAST assessments to focus on specific areas of your application or to test specific functionalities.
  • API Security Testing: We can specifically target your APIs (REST, SOAP, GraphQL) to identify vulnerabilities in their interfaces and data handling.
  • Integration with CI/CD: We can integrate our DAST solution with you CI/CD pipelines.

Deliverables:

  • Comprehensive Report: A detailed report outlining all identified vulnerabilities, their severity levels, proof-of-concept exploits (where applicable), and specific, actionable remediation recommendations.
  • Executive Summary: A high-level overview of the findings and their potential business impact for management and stakeholders.
  • Vulnerability Remediation Guidance: We provide clear and practical guidance to help your development team fix the identified vulnerabilities.
  • Re-testing (Optional): After you have implemented remediations, we can re-test your application to verify that the vulnerabilities have been effectively addressed.
