OpenText Dynamic Application Security Testing DAST (Fortify WebInspect)

Formerly OpenText Fortify WebInspect

OpenText Dynamic Application Security Testing DAST (Fortify WebInspect) tests running web applications and APIs to find exploitable vulnerabilities from the outside in.

How Checkpoint Technologies approaches this platform

DAST catches what static analysis cannot — but only if scans reflect real application behavior, environments, and authentication. Checkpoint Technologies helps teams run WebInspect with purpose: meaningful scan scope, repeatable schedules, credible results, and workflows that connect dynamic security findings to QA and release readiness.

What teams usually struggle with

DAST scans miss critical flows because environments or auth are incomplete
Dynamic findings are not prioritized against business-critical workflows
Security and functional QA teams work in separate silos
WebInspect results arrive too late to influence release decisions
