Overview

FortiDAST performs automated black-box dynamic application security testing of web applications to identify vulnerabilities that threat actors may exploit. Designed for development, DevOps, and security teams, FortiDAST generates full details on vulnerabilities found, prioritized by threat scores computed from CVSS values, and provides guidance for their effective remediation. 

FortiDAST is cloud-based and uses a crawler and fuzzers to scan and test web applications.

How FortiDAST Works

FortiDAST combines FortiGuard Labs’ extensive threat research and knowledge base and employs a powerful crawler and expert-designed fuzzers. These crawl and test your web applications for vulnerabilities, simulating tactics threat actors would take in the real world.

Three FortiDAST deployment options. 1. Cloud-based scanning: perform testing without managing underlying infrastructure. 2. Proxy scanning: use proxy scanning to scan internal web applications not exposed to the Internet. 3. On-premise scanning: Deploy and manage scanning tools with in your environment.

Flexible Deployment Options

FortiDAST provides great flexibility. With cloud, proxy, or on-premises deployment options, FortiDAST fits your organization's needs.

FortiDAST is integrated with FortiDevSec

End-to-End CI/CD Pipeline Coverage

With FortiDAST and FortiDevSec integration, we provide DevSecOps teams with vulnerability scanning solutions to cover the entire CI/CD pipeline or software development life cycle (SDLC). You can scan applications and remediate vulnerabilities both in development and production phases. FortiDAST is also natively integrated with major CI/CD tools.
