DAST Benchmark Project
A DAST benchmark is a structured comparison of dynamic application security testing tools against the same target applications to measure real-world detection accuracy.
Having the right tool matters for a mature application security program, and the only way to find out which fits best is testing security tools on your applications.
No universal best tool exists - selection depends on specific organizational needs.
