From "Afterthought" to "By Design": Shift Security Left with DAST

Sep 24, 2025 | 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM UTC

Is fear your gut reaction to finding out some hot new feature will deploy in the next 10 minutes? With the increasing speed of software development and advanced cybersecurity threats, security must shift-left into the software creation process. In this session, we will explore how to effectively integrate Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) into that process. You will learn how to: - Define success criteria tied to business outcomes - Identify and align stakeholders - Integrate DAST with existing software pipelines - Recognize the hallmarks of a good shift-left DAST tool. Through a case study example, we'll demonstrate how a collaborative partnership between IT Security and Application Development enables continuous validation and reduced risk. Attendees will leave with a framework for embedding effective DAST into any software delivery flow.
