OpenText Dynamic Application Security Testing

OpenText

OpenText Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) is an automated solution that simulates real-world attacks on live applications, APIs, and services to identify exploitable vulnerabilities. It operates on running production environments, requiring no source code or staging setup. Designed for modern DevSecOps teams, the platform prioritizes vulnerabilities for root cause analysis and integrates seamlessly through REST APIs and an intuitive user interface. OpenText DAST supports automation in CI/CD pipelines, reducing manual efforts while accelerating security feedback. It covers modern web technologies like HTML5, JSON, AJAX, JavaScript, and HTTP2 to ensure comprehensive testing. Flexible deployment options allow organizations to run the solution on public cloud, private cloud, or on-premises environments.

ForceShield

We are the dynamic application guardian for Web, Mobile, and IoT. ForceShield was established in 2016 by a group of security experts with the goal of changing the game rules in the cybersecurity world. The founders believe that the traditional signature-based security technologies were failing in the face of ever more frequent and sophisticated automated attacks. They developed a proprietary security technology – Dynamic Transformation – that shifted the security approach from reactive to proactive protection while increasing complexity and cost for attackers. ForceShield foresaw that the rapid growth of automated attacks targeting the Internet of Things presented an unprecedented security challenge that their technology and engineering experience could solve. ForceShield creates a complete network defense layer by protecting Web/Mobile applications and IoT devices against bot attacks.
