Dynamic Application Security Testing at Cribl

Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) is a type of security testing that actively exercises and inspects a web application for security vulnerabilities. A DAST scanner sends an assortment of payloads to the target application, typically through HTTP requests for web applications, then analyzes the responses and behavior to detect vulnerabilities. DAST is language and framework agnostic, allowing for security scans against any web application with careful configuration.

Install The Splunk Distribution of OTel Collector in K8s with Helm

In this video, I’ll show you how to install the Splunk Distribution of the OTel Collector using a Helm Chart.
