Black Duck dynamic application security testing (DAST) solutions identify vulnerabilities in APIs and web applications before and after deployment, helping ensure that you find security issues before hackers do.

Test before and after deployment

With Black Duck, you can integrate DAST into your DevOps pipelines to fix security issues before you deploy, and continuously verify the security of applications in production.

Optimize DAST for modern apps

Black Duck dynamic application security testing solutions are purpose-built to efficiently test single-page applications, JavaScript-heavy sites, APIs, and microservices at scale.
