Invicti's Innovative DAST-to-SAST Correlation

In a significant move towards enhancing application security, Invicti has launched a new dynamic capability that bridges the gap between Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) and Static Application Security Testing (SAST). This innovative DAST-to-SAST correlation feature aims to equip DevOps teams with the tools necessary to streamline the identification and resolution of runtime vulnerabilities in software development, efficiently and accurately.

The Growing Demand for Speed and Security

Modern DevOps teams are under immense pressure to deliver high-quality software at an accelerated pace, all while ensuring robust security measures. Traditional DAST solutions often generate verified runtime vulnerability reports during the later stages of development, complicating the process for DevOps professionals. They face a challenging dilemma: should they meet tight deadlines at the risk of security lapses, or take a step back to investigate issues? This decision-making challenge is where Invicti's DAST-to-SAST correlation shines.

Bridging the Gap Between DAST and SAST

The new DAST-to-SAST correlation solution by Invicti addresses the persistent issue where developers struggle with an overwhelming volume of results from SAST analyses that often contain noise, false positives, and unclear guidance. By effectively correlating DAST findings, which confirm vulnerability exploitability and reachability, with SAST data, Invicti ensures teams can navigate directly to the exact lines of code that require attention, maximizing efficiency in remediation.

Neil Roseman, CEO of Invicti, emphasized, "Security and DevOps teams shouldn't have to choose between speed and safety. With DAST-to-SAST correlation, we are giving teams the confidence to release faster by concentrating on verified, exploitable risks and offering them the context they need to address them immediately."

How It Works

Invicti's seamless integration overlays DAST and SAST results onto a detailed dependency call graph. This unique approach not only simplifies the correlation of vulnerabilities but also directly connects these vulnerabilities to the specific paths in the code that lead to them. The application of AI-driven remediation techniques and automated ticketing further reduces the typical turnaround time for fixing vulnerabilities—from days or even weeks to mere hours. Moreover, this capability effectively minimizes the noise generated by irrelevant SAST findings, thus streamlining the workflow for developers.

Key Benefits:

1. Faster Triage: Prioritize SAST findings that are relevant to verified DAST vulnerabilities.
2. Accelerated Remediation: Developers receive precise context, including direct links to the relevant lines of code needing repair.
3. Noise Reduction: With proof-based runtime findings from DAST, organizations can eliminate false-positive vulnerabilities revealed by SAST.

Embracing Continuous Delivery

As organizations increasingly transition to continuous delivery models and distributed API-based architectures, Invicti's DAST-to-SAST correlation feature empowers DevSecOps teams to tackle vulnerabilities proactively and earlier in the CI/CD pipeline. Early remediation reduces overall risk exposure, thereby allowing teams to release with greater confidence and speed.

Availability and Future Outlook

The DAST-to-SAST correlation capability is now available on the Invicti AppSec Platform. Users are encouraged to join the unveiling event on April 29 for a detailed look at this cutting-edge AppSec innovation.
