Manual Security Analysis vs Dynamic Application Security Testing
Developers should learn and use Manual Security Analysis when building or maintaining high-risk applications, such as financial systems, healthcare software, or critical infrastructure, where security is paramount meets developers should use dast during the testing phase of the software development lifecycle to identify runtime security vulnerabilities that static analysis might miss, such as injection flaws, broken authentication, and sensitive data exposure. Here's our take.
Manual Security Analysis

Manual Security Analysis
Nice PickDevelopers should learn and use Manual Security Analysis when building or maintaining high-risk applications, such as financial systems, healthcare software, or critical infrastructure, where security is paramount
Pros
- +It is essential during security audits, compliance checks (e
- +Related to: penetration-testing, code-review
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Dynamic Application Security Testing
Developers should use DAST during the testing phase of the software development lifecycle to identify runtime security vulnerabilities that static analysis might miss, such as injection flaws, broken authentication, and sensitive data exposure
Pros
- +It is particularly valuable for web applications and APIs exposed to the internet, as it helps ensure compliance with security standards like OWASP Top 10 and PCI-DSS before deployment
- +Related to: static-application-security-testing, penetration-testing
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Manual Security Analysis if: You want it is essential during security audits, compliance checks (e and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Dynamic Application Security Testing if: You prioritize it is particularly valuable for web applications and apis exposed to the internet, as it helps ensure compliance with security standards like owasp top 10 and pci-dss before deployment over what Manual Security Analysis offers.
