SecuDAST is a self-hosted dynamic application security testing tool for running applications inside an organization’s network.
What SecuDAST is
SecuDAST is a self-hosted dynamic application security testing tool for running applications inside an organization’s network. It tests authenticated flows, APIs, single-page applications, and traditional form-based sites across internal, staging, and pre-production targets reachable from that network. The engine runs beside applications without cloud scanning infrastructure or sending traffic outside the environment. Scans begin in safe mode, avoiding destructive payloads and rate-limiting probes; teams can configure more aggressive checks and path exclusions. Every finding includes the request and response that demonstrated the issue. Results flow to the SecuNexa dashboard with evidence and standard report formats for pipelines and ticketing. Scoped, repeatable scan profiles support CI stages and nightly schedules, with integrations named for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, and self-hosted runners. The dashboard offers seven project-scoped roles, immutable audit logging, local accounts, MFA, and optional LDAP or SSO. SecuNexa says engines run offline without phone-home telemetry, using signed offline vulnerability-data bundles.
Good
