Microsoft Develops Scalable Dynamic Application Security Testing Solutions
/ 1 min read
🌐 Microsoft develops scalable Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) solutions for web services. The Azure Edge & Platform organization at Microsoft is addressing the challenges of scaling DAST for API web services, which often struggle with integration and automation. Traditional DAST tools require manual input for web endpoint discovery and authentication, complicating their deployment across thousands of services. Microsoft is creating an agent that automates OpenAPI Specification generation and integrates seamlessly with existing services, allowing for comprehensive security testing without developer intervention. This orchestration platform will enhance security by enabling real-time monitoring and testing while maintaining data integrity in production environments. The initiative reflects Microsoft’s commitment to robust security practices and aims to inspire similar efforts in the industry.
