What is IAST?

IAST (Interactive Application Security Testing) combines elements of DAST and SAST by analysing an application from within while it runs. An IAST agent is deployed inside the application and monitors code execution, data flow, and interactions in real time during testing or normal use. This approach provides more accurate results than DAST or SAST alone, with fewer false positives, because it has visibility into both the code and runtime behaviour.
