Developer-centric DAST is a type of dynamic application security testing that focuses on integrating security testing into the software development lifecycle, shifting security testing left in the development process to detect and remediate vulnerabilities early. This approach complements static application security testing (SAST) by providing a more comprehensive approach to application security testing. Dev-centric DAST can be integrated into the development process, allowing developers to test their code for security vulnerabilities right after they build it, and provides developers with immediate feedback on the security of their code. By automating security testing and incorporating it into the continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipeline, dev-centric DAST enables developers to address security vulnerabilities in real-time, minimizing the impact of security issues and reducing the likelihood of vulnerabilities going undetected. Dev-centric DAST is a modern approach that can help organizations improve their security posture, reduce the risk of security breaches and data loss, and meet compliance requirements.
