Interactive application security testing
open-in-new
<p>Interactive application security testing (abbreviated as IAST) is a <a href="/facts/Security_testing/gtEmKE5b">security testing</a> method that detects software vulnerabilities by interaction with the program coupled with observation and sensors. The tool was launched by several application security companies. It is distinct from <a href="/facts/Static_application_security_testing/eN4lDLk2">static application security testing</a>, which does not interact with the program, and <a href="/facts/Dynamic_application_security_testing/V8vvzwdv">dynamic application security testing</a>, which considers the program as a <a href="/facts/Black_box/hJeAGnIz">black box</a>. It may be considered a mix of both. </p>
