Checkmarx DAST is part of the Checkmarx One application security platform. This allows a complete AppSec program to be run on a single platform, reducing total cost of ownership and allowing for correlation and better actionable insights. Checkmarx One spans Code (SAST, API Security, IaC Security, Secrets Detection), Software Supply Chain (SCA, Malicious Package Protection, Container Security, Repository Health), and Runtime (DAST). Why should I have a DAST tool on a unified platform? By maintaining a unified cloud-native AppSec platform such as Checkmarx One, organizations can consolidate their AppSec tooling. This lowers TCO, reduces learning curves among the team, and allows for a unified view of your entire application security posture. It is easier to analyze and prioritize vulnerabilities across multiple solutions, such as SAST, DAST, and API Security. What is the cost? How can I learn more about pricing? Every organization has unique needs and sizes. For a price quote, please get in touch — see our packaging page for details. DAST is available as an add-on within Checkmarx One Professional or higher. It is not sold as a standalone product. If you are a current Checkmarx customer, please reach out to your account manager. Where can I explore DAST documentation? You can explore all of Checkmarx’s documentation at docs.checkmarx.com. Custom DAST Demo ## Want to See DAST in Action?
