CI/CD templates incorporate your favorite programming language or framework into this YAML file. Instead of building pipelines from scratch, CI/CD templates simplify the process by having parameters already built-in.

I pulled data from G2’s latest **Enterprise DAST Software Grid** to see which platforms enterprise users rate highest for scalability, automation, and continuous security integration. Here’s what stood out (based on G2 Grid order): - **Tenable Nessus** – the clear enterprise leader; trusted for deep vulnerability coverage, reliable scanning at scale, and seamless integrations across hybrid and on-prem environments. - **Bright Security** – a top high performer with strong satisfaction scores; well-suited for cloud-native testing and continuous scanning in enterprise CI/CD workflows. - **Invicti (formerly Netsparker)** – established enterprise solution known for scalable scanning, automation, and proof-based vulnerability validation to minimize false positives. - **HCL AppScan** – strong contender for large enterprises; offers combined DAST, SAST, and IAST capabilities with extensive reporting and compliance features. - **GitLab** – integrates DAST directly into CI/CD pipelines; a good fit for enterprises already leveraging GitLab’s broader DevSecOps ecosystem. I based this on **G2 satisfaction, market presence, and overall G2 score** , highlighting tools consistently chosen by enterprise security teams for scalability and integration depth. Also seeing **StackHawk** and **Contrast Security** mentioned frequently for modern, API-focused enterprise setups — anyone here using those? For enterprise teams running large-scale security programs — which DAST tools have scaled best across multiple applications and CI/CD pipelines?
