A Tale of Two Scanners: The Evolution From Siloed Scanning to AI-Powered Correlation

For years, security teams have operated in silos: SAST found theoretical bugs in code, while DAST found exploitable vulnerabilities in production. Connecting the two has historically required a manual, time-consuming "hunt" that drains engineering resources and delays fixes.

As AI-generated code and API architectures accelerate, this gap has become a critical risk multiplier. This eBook explores the evolution of these scanners and how deep, bidirectional correlation turns disconnected signals into an intelligent, immediate fix.

You will learn:

• Why "more scanning" is no longer the answer to modern application complexity.

• How to bridge the gap between runtime symptoms and source code root causes.

• The impact of AI and API sprawl on the modern attack surface.

• Strategies to reduce triage time from days to minutes using automated validation.

• How Snyk’s unified platform achieves an industry-leading 0.08% false-positive rate.
