Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) with OpsMx
OpsMx integrates with OWASP ZAP to detect Vulnerabilities and Security Flaws in Web Applications
OpsMx Delivery Shield enriches the features of OWASP ZAP to develop and deploy secure web apps. Our integration offers security teams extensive capabilities—from intercepting proxies to automated scanning, fuzzing, integration with CI/CD, and extensibility to discover, log, and patch vulnerabilities with ease.
DAST Key Features
Intercepting Proxy
Acts as a "man-in-the-middle" to analyze, modify, and monitor requests/responses, uncovering hidden vulnerabilities undetected by black-box alone.
Spidering and Crawling
Automatically crawls web apps—mapping the entire architecture and entry points, collecting URLs, parameters, and forms for comprehensive vulnerability detection.
Passive Scanning
Monitors traffic via a proxy to detect security issues like missing headers, information leakage, and outdated server technologies—without altering data.
Active Scanning
In-depth scans by simulating targeted attacks—SQL Injection, XSS (Cross-Site Scripting), Command Injection to identify severe vulnerabilities hackers could exploit.
Fuzzer
Tests API endpoints, form fields, and query parameters with a variety of payloads to identify input validation flaws.
Session Management
Tracks session states, cookies, and tokens to test authenticated roles, privilege escalation, and logic bugs in workflows.
Reporting and Alerts
Generates severity-based reports and customizable alerts, providing actionable insights for quick remediation and compliance tracking.
Automation and Integration
Seamless integration with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab, GitHub Actions) and build environments for automated, continuous security testing.
Extensibility and Scripting
Supports custom scripts (JavaScript, Python, Groovy) and modular add-ons to adapt to specific testing requirements.
OpsMx DAST HUD
Provides real-time vulnerability alerts and testing tools directly in the browser window for seamless testing without contextual switching.
Cross-Platform Availability
Runs on Windows, MacOS, Linux, and deployable via lightweight Docker containers for scalable, cloud-ready testing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is dynamic application security testing (DAST) and how does it work?
DAST is a black-box security testing method that identifies vulnerabilities and security flaws in live/running applications. This technique works by simulating attacks on a live/prod environment by sending malicious inputs and analysing responses to uncover weaknesses.
How does OpsMx integrate OWASP ZAP to enhance web app security?
OpsMx Delivery Shield integrates with OWASP ZAP—enriching the functionality and working of ZAP. This integration offers capabilities such as automated scanning, Intercepting Proxy, Spidering and Crawling, Passive and Active scanning, Fuzz testing, etc., to identify vulnerabilities and security gaps in a live application.
Can I automate vulnerability scanning within my CI/CD pipeline using OpsMx?
Yes, you can integrate and automate vulnerability scans within the CI/CD pipeline using OpsMx.
How does the intercepting proxy feature help uncover hidden vulnerabilities?
Intercepting Proxy acts as a “man-in-the-middle” to analyze, modify, and monitor requests/responses, uncovering hidden vulnerabilities undetected by black-box alone.
What measures does OpsMx offer for both passive and active scanning?
OpsMx’s integration with OWASP ZAP allows it to monitor traffic via a proxy to detect security issues like missing headers, information leakage, and outdated server technologies—without altering data for passive scanning. This integration also automates simulation of SQL Injection, XSS, and Command Injection to identify vulnerabilities.
How can I customize testing with scripting support and modular add-ons?
You can use OpsMx’s integration with OWASP ZAP to write custom scripts (in JavaScript, Python, Groovy) and modular add-ons to adapt to specific testing requirements.
What benefits does fuzz testing provide for identifying input validation flaws?
Fuzz testing tests API endpoints, form fields, and query parameters with a variety of payloads to identify input validation flaws—identifying any gaps in security.
How does session management testing improve my application’s security posture?
Session Management tracks session states, cookies, and tokens to test authenticated roles, privilege escalation, and logic bugs in workflows. This can help you uncover anomalies, alerting you of any shortcomings in your application security posture.
Is OpsMx DAST scalable for both small teams and enterprise deployments?
Yes, OpsMx DAST can be used by teams both small and large. Its designed to help teams scale their licenses as they see fit.
