What is SAST & DAST?
Application Security Testing requires both Static Application Security Testing (SAST) and Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) for complete coverage.
- SAST (white-box testing) analyzes your application’s source code, bytecode, or binaries to detect flaws before deployment.
- DAST (black-box testing) simulates real-world attacks on a running application to uncover vulnerabilities missed by static scans.
At EINSHIELD, we combine both approaches to ensure your applications are hardened across the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC) — from secure coding to runtime protection.
Why SAST & DAST Are Critical
More than 80% of vulnerabilities originate in source code. SAST finds them early.
Attackers exploit apps in production. DAST simulates those threats safely.
Together, they:
- Enable shift-left security in CI/CD pipelines.
- Reduce patch costs and shorten remediation cycles.
- Meet compliance needs (ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, RBI).
- Build customer trust by securing apps before and after release.
