We couldn’t endorse our partner **Invicti** more strongly—a true leader in **enterprise DAST**. Their latest newsletter lays out the case for a **DAST-first application security strategy**, and we couldn’t agree more. With **99.98% accuracy via proof-based scanning**, Invicti is helping redefine how modern teams test and secure their applications.
### **Why DAST-First Changes the Game**
Unlike traditional tools that flood teams with false positives or partial coverage, a DAST-first model focuses on what really matters: identifying live, exploitable vulnerabilities with speed and confidence. By testing applications in real time, security teams get instant feedback on what’s truly at risk—no assumptions, no friction. The approach is particularly well-suited to teams scaling security within CI/CD workflows, where automation and accuracy need to go hand-in-hand.
Invicti’s platform is not only technically sound—it’s built for integration, efficiency, and scalability. It fits into how modern teams build software, not just how they secure it.
### **How True Positives Delivers on the DAST-First Promise**
As an AppSec MSSP, True Positives integrates Invicti’s DAST engine directly into our managed service offerings. But we don’t stop at automation. Every scan we deliver is validated by experienced AppSec professionals, ensuring that our clients only act on verified threats. With more than 150 years of combined security experience across our leadership team—including time at Microsoft, Cisco, Intel, Rapid7, and @Stake—we bring both technical depth and operational clarity to every engagement.
For clients with high-risk applications or regulatory requirements, we also offer manual penetration testing as an added layer of assurance. And for companies looking to strengthen their own internal security programs, we provide expert in-house AppSec support—helping security leaders build maturity without the overhead of managing every component themselves.
### **The Takeaway: Stronger AppSec, Smarter Spending**
You don’t have to fight complexity with complexity. By offloading the noisy, repetitive, and often ineffective parts of security testing to a trusted partner like True Positives, your team can focus on what it does best—building and shipping.
We’ve seen firsthand how the DAST-first model, backed by Invicti and validated by experts, enables real security outcomes without operational drag. Whether you’re launching your AppSec journey or fine-tuning a mature program, the time to shift is now.
