Report on Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) Solutions
Gartner published its report Magic Quadrant for Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) at the end of December.
The report is currently available to download free of charge if you register on Veracode's website. But it looks like if your turnover is less than $500 million, or say it is, the sales folk may be less likely to bother you.
The report is a useful summary, but I don't think it does enough to highlight the need for DAST to be just one part of a mix of activities contributing to a secure software development lifecycle, and therefore more secure applications. There's plenty of activity out there combining developer training, secure coding guidelines, vulnerability management, web application firewall dynamic patching and static analysis techniques too.
