>- Add Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) steps to existing Harness pipelines using Harness STO scanners. Supports API DAST / Traceable (default), Burp Suite Enterprise, ZAP (OWASP), Nikto, and Nmap. Scans running application instances for vulnerabilities including API security issues, injection flaws, misconfigurations, and exposed services. Can insert the scan step into an existing CI or SecurityTests stage or create a dedicated SecurityTests stage. Use when asked to add DAST scanning, configure dynamic application testing, set up API security scanning, scan a running application, or add runtime security testing to a pipeline. scan running app, add Burp Suite scan, add ZAP scan, add Nikto scan, runtime security scan, API security scan.
