DAST vs. API Contract Testing: Which Approach Wins for Security?

APIs are prime targets for attackers, with AI-powered automation accelerating vulnerability discovery. Traditional Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) tools, built for web apps, struggle with API-specific challenges, often missing critical vulnerabilities.

This white paper explains why API contract testing outperforms legacy DAST. Learn how contract-based testing ensures scalable security by validating APIs against intended behavior. Key insights include:

• Detecting business logic flaws and injection attacks missed by DAST
• Why test relevance matters more than test volume
• Automated governance for API protection
