Checkmarx DAST

Checkmarx DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing) is an enterprise-grade web application and API vulnerability scanning platform designed to identify exploitable security flaws, runtime misconfigurations, and authentication weaknesses in running applications without needing source code access. Integrated directly into the Checkmarx One platform, it enables organizations to validate the real-world security posture of staging and production environments.

The solution provides advanced crawling and execution engines capable of parsing modern single-page applications (SPAs), complex JavaScript frameworks, and multi-step authenticated transaction workflows. Core capabilities include automated discovery of web applications and API endpoints, automated fuzzing for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities (including SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and SSRF), automated login authentication handling, and vulnerability verification that eliminates false positives. Security teams can execute concurrent dynamic scans across extensive enterprise application portfolios.

Global enterprises, banking institutions, and software providers deploy Checkmarx DAST to bridge the gap between source code analysis and production runtime defense. It integrates smoothly with Jira, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, and Checkmarx One. Common operational use cases include conducting pre-deployment penetration assessments, running continuous automated compliance scans for PCI-DSS and SOC 2 audits, testing third-party commercial web applications, and providing developers with verified exploit proof to accelerate issue remediation.
