# Security Can’t Keep Up With AI – But DAST Closes the Gap

The way teams build applications has fundamentally changed. AI coding assistants mean applications are built in days or hours instead of weeks. But security testing hasn’t kept pace. AI-generated code that looks clean can still have business logic flaws, authentication bypasses, and API vulnerabilities that only show up at runtime. When code is moving this fast, the only way to know it’s actually secure is to test it under real conditions. That’s where DAST comes in.

In this session, we’ll cover why:

 #### AI-generated code demands runtime validation

Static analysis shows you what the code is – not how it behaves in production.

 #### DAST adoption is up 24% YoY

What’s driving the shift, and what it means for your security strategy.

Checkmarx has been investing and finetuning our runtime security since 2023, well before AI-driven development made it a market-wide priority. Join us to see what that looks like in practice.
