Introduction

FortiDAST is a cloud enabled service that performs vulnerability assessment and penetration testing through an intensive process of comprehensive and criteria based automated scanning and analysis. It adopts an organised technical approach of assessing your web applications running in an HTTP/HTTPS environment, to identify loopholes and vulnerabilities. Penetration testing (pen-testing) is the process to explore and exploit security vulnerabilities in an application using various malicious techniques to discover security gaps; securing your network and assisting in suitable remediation steps for the identified susceptibilities.

The goal of FortiDAST is to provide an easy-to-understand and non-intrusive evaluation of the security posture of your web applications. The outcome is an accurate and detailed vulnerability assessment report with a high vulnerability detection rate that facilitates appropriate measures for remediation and further network penetration testing.

This diagram lays down the building blocks of the FortiDAST vulnerability assessment and penetration testing service.

This document provides a list of new features and product integration information for FortiDAST version 23.1. Review all sections of this document before you use this service.
