How dynamic application security testing validates risk at runtime

Security teams already have long queues of potential application vulnerabilities. The useful question is what happens next: can they see how a weakness behaves in a running application, reproduce the attack, and give developers enough evidence to fix it?Dynamic application security testing (DAST) helps answer those questions by testing applications as an attacker encounters them. The IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Dynamic Application Security Testing 2026 Vendor Assessment (Doc #US54119126, September 2026). The IDC MarketScape evaluated 16 vendors and named Rapid7 a Leader.We believe the result re

Credentialed Pre-Port Discovery: Don't Probe the Host, Ask it

If your scan engine already holds credentials for a host, it can ask that host which ports are open instead of probing for them.Every scan begins with the same question: which ports on this host are open? Everything after it, from identifying services to checking for vulnerabilities to evaluating policy, depends on the answer being right. The traditional answer comes from the outside: the scan engine sends traffic to a range of ports and infers each port's state from how the host responds. That approach is the industry standard, and it works well when a clear network path exists between the en
