Traditional DAST vs AI Scanners

DygDog Team··1 min read


What is the difference between Traditional DAST and AI Scanners?

Traditional DAST tools rely on rigid, payload-based active scanning that can disrupt production and produce vague vulnerability reports. AI Scanners, like DygDog, utilize zero-payload passive scanning and frontier LLMs to generate context-aware, infrastructure-specific code snippets for immediate remediation.

How does DygDog improve upon legacy scanners?

DygDog enriches findings with real-time threat intelligence (CISA KEV, EPSS) and automatically maps them to major compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001), eliminating manual spreadsheet work.
