Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST): A security testing method that analyzes a live application in its operating environment to identify vulnerabilities from an external attacker’s perspective. This testing focuses on detecting security flaws, misconfigurations, and weaknesses exploitable by malicious actors, and is generally conducted in the later stages of development or in production.
