Key takeaways

• Integrating DAST with Jira, GitHub, Jenkins, and other dev tools embeds security testing within existing workflows.
• Invicti’s proof-based scanning helps confirm exploitability for many vulnerabilities before they reach developer queues.
• Automated integrations accelerate remediation while reducing manual coordination.
• Security data is shared across development and operations tools, improving visibility and accountability.
• A DAST-first approach ensures teams focus on risks that are real and exploitable at runtime, not theoretical findings.

Why DAST integrations matter in DevSecOps

Security can only keep up with development speed when it works inside the same tools developers already use. Manual handoffs of vulnerability reports between security and development teams slow down remediation and increase the risk that issues will be overlooked.

Dynamic application security testing (DAST) addresses this by fitting naturally into DevSecOps workflows. When scan results appear directly in issue trackers, repositories, and CI/CD pipelines, fixing vulnerabilities becomes part of normal development and delivery processes. This automation helps organizations move from periodic testing toward continuous and consistent security validation.

Invicti’s DAST-first approach enables this by embedding runtime-based vulnerability insights into the tools developers already rely on.

Invicti’s integration capabilities

Invicti integrates with widely used development and DevOps tools to automate testing, triage, and remediation workflows. These integrations are designed to minimize manual work while maintaining accuracy and flexibility.

Jira integration: Create tickets automatically for verified vulnerabilities

Invicti integrates with Jira to give you the ability to create detailed vulnerability tickets automatically when security issues are found. Each ticket includes technical details and guidance for remediation. Because Invicti verifies many vulnerabilities through its proof-based scanning technology, you can set up Jira to receive only actionable findings that teams can trust. This reduces manual ticketing and helps prevent backlogs of unverified or low-confidence issues.

GitHub integration: Link runtime findings to code workflows

Invicti integrates with GitHub to associate runtime testing results with repositories and pull requests. Depending on the configuration, scans can be triggered automatically during builds or scheduled periodically. Findings are linked to the relevant code context, allowing developers to address issues earlier in the workflow. This connection between dynamic testing and source control helps teams identify how live vulnerabilities map to the code they maintain.

Jenkins plugin: Automate testing in CI/CD pipelines

Invicti’s Jenkins plugin lets teams include DAST scans as automated stages in their CI/CD pipelines. Builds can be configured to fail or flag warnings based on vulnerability severity or policy rules. Because DAST tests running applications, scans are typically performed on deployed builds or staging environments to ensure accurate runtime validation without disrupting development speed.

Additional integrations

Invicti also supports GitLab, Azure DevOps, Bitbucket, TeamCity, Bamboo, and other platforms through native integrations and a robust API. This flexibility allows teams to maintain consistent scanning and reporting workflows across diverse toolchains.

Benefits of integrated DAST for DevSecOps

• Workflow-native security: Vulnerability results appear directly in the tools developers use every day, which reduces context switching and adoption barriers.
• Automation and speed: Integrations automate scan initiation, issue creation, and policy enforcement, improving consistency and reducing manual overhead.
• Verified findings: Invicti’s proof-based scanning can confirm the exploitability of many common vulnerabilities, so teams spend less time verifying false positives and more time fixing real risks.
• Improved collaboration: Shared visibility between development and security teams enables faster triage and clearer ownership across the SDLC.

DAST-first integration philosophy

Invicti’s DAST-first approach prioritizes runtime testing as the definitive source of truth about exploitable risk. While static and composition analysis provide useful visibility into potential weaknesses, DAST shows what attackers could actually exploit in a running environment.

By correlating results across testing methods, Invicti enables organizations to validate static findings against live behavior, helping focus remediation on the most relevant issues. This integration-first, DAST-first strategy turns dynamic testing into the operational backbone of application security programs – in effect, your fact-checker for security testing data.
