SAST tools, however, are not capable of identifying vulnerabilities outside the code. For example, vulnerabilities found in a third-party API would not be detected by SAST and would require Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST). You can learn more about DAST on this page,What is DAST?

Dynamic application security testing (DAST) is the process of using simulated attacks on a web application to identify vulnerabilities. By attacking an application the same way a malicious user would, this strategy assesses the program through an approach sometimes referred to as “outside in.” Af...
Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) is a security testing methodology in which the application is tested at runtime to discover security vulnerabilities.
Dynamic application security testing (DAST) is a method of AppSec testing in which testers examine an application while it’s running, but have no knowledge of the application’s internal interactions or designs at the system level, and no access or visibility into the source program. This “...
If an organization’s front end does not interact with all API endpoints, traditional DAST scanners will miss them. It is therefore essential to adopt a modern, dynamic API security testing strategy that targets issues in all of an API’s endpoints. What are the benefits of using API ...
