Dynamic Application Security Testing
For teams that ship both fast and secure, Checkmarx DAST scanner makes dynamic security testing as agile as AI-driven development.
DAST for the
AI-Driven Era
As AI and agentic AppSec reshape development, DAST ensures your live apps are tested as rigorously as the code that built them.
Onboarding apps takes days, leading to missed coverage
Get started in minutes with built-in tunnelling for internal apps, ready-to-use scan templates, and zero complex network setup.
DAST only runs at release, not throughout development
Plug DAST into your CI/CD pipeline to run security tests on every commit and catch vulnerabilities before they hit production.
Complex auth flows leave apps without full test coverage
Support any auth flow with browser-recorded logins, 2FA, and instant verification to achieve full coverage and detailed reporting.
What Is AI-Driven DAST?
Discover how teams ship secure AI-driven apps faster than ever.
DAST Scanner Built for How Modern Development Teams Work
From scanning to remediation, Checkmarx DAST tool gives enterprise teams the accuracy, coverage, and AI-powered intelligence to secure code without slowing down how they build it.
Seamless Integration Within the SDLC
Connect DAST to your existing CI/CD tooling in minutes. Tests run automatically on every build across dev and pre-production environments, with results surfaced directly in your pipeline so nothing reaches production untested.
Fast and Simple Onboarding
Scan internal apps without firewall exceptions or network reconfigurations. Built-in tunnelling connects to your environment securely, and pre-built scan templates mean any team member can get a new environment up and running in minutes.
Authentication Made Simple
Record login flows directly in the browser to handle complex authentication sequences. Built-in 2FA support and instant verification ensure full coverage across your real application surfaces, with granular reporting on every scan result.
Enhanced Compliance
Map every finding directly to the compliance framework it affects. Get a clear view of which applications are introducing regulatory risk, so your team can prioritize remediation around what matters most for audit readiness.
Complete API Security
Test REST, SOAP, and gRPC endpoints in live environments to surface vulnerabilities that static testing misses. All SAST and DAST API findings are centralized in a single inventory, giving your team one place to manage and prioritize API risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
Checkmarx DAST is part of the Checkmarx One application security platform. This allows a complete AppSec program to be run on a single platform, reducing total cost of ownership and allowing for correlation and better actionable insights. Checkmarx One spans Code (SAST, API Security, IaC Security, Secrets Detection), Software Supply Chain (SCA, Malicious Package Protection, Container Security, Repository Health), and Runtime (DAST).
By maintaining a unified cloud-native AppSec platform such as Checkmarx One, organizations can consolidate their AppSec tooling. This lowers TCO, reduces learning curves among the team, and allows for a unified view of your entire application security posture. It is easier to analyze and prioritize vulnerabilities across multiple solutions, such as SAST, DAST, and API Security.
Every organization has unique needs and sizes. For a price quote, please get in touch — see our packaging page for details. DAST is available as an add-on within Checkmarx One Professional or higher.
