In today's fast-paced development environment, developers are being asked to take on more responsibility for software security. Despite having a host of tools to help them identify incorrect syntax, merge errors, and integration issues, they often still have no idea if they are introducing vulnerabilities into the code they write. Since this can lead to bottlenecks when it reaches security teams, organizations are seeing time and resource savings by enabling developers with increased security tools much earlier in the development lifecycle.

Static application security testing (SAST) has traditionally been the most important tool for developers to test the code they write. Dynamic application security testing (DAST) has been used later in the cycle by security teams. But there is an increasing demand for DAST tools that are easy for developers to use as well, providing them with a system of checks and balances that produce more secure code as part of the development process.

Whether you call it DAST for Developers or Developer-centric DAST, HCL AppScan has the tools that developers need to seamlessly integrate DAST scanning, remediation and validation into their workflow whether they are using HCL AppScan on Cloud (ASoC), HCL AppScan 360º (AS360), HCL AppScan Standard (ASD) or HCL AppScan Enterprise (ASE) early in the cycle.
