# Recos for best DAST solutions for continuous security integration

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Hey everyone,</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true"> I’ve been helping a few DevSecOps teams evaluate <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/dynamic-application-security-testing-dast"><strong>DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing)</strong> tools</a> that fit directly into CI/CD pipelines — automating security scans as part of continuous integration rather than after deployment. I looked into G2’s latest <strong>DAST Software Grid</strong> to see which tools rank highest for real-time integration, usability, and overall satisfaction.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Here are the top five (based on G2 score):</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/tenable-nessus/reviews"><strong>Tenable Nessus</strong></a><strong>:</strong> leading the pack with a strong market presence; reliable for vulnerability scanning across environments and integrates well into CI/CD pipelines.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/jit/reviews"><strong>Jit</strong></a><strong>:</strong> high satisfaction scores (89%) and designed for DevSecOps-first workflows; fits seamlessly into CI/CD for automated testing and continuous monitoring.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/aikido-security/reviews"><strong>Aikido Security</strong></a><strong>:</strong> newer but gaining traction quickly; praised for simplicity and automated scanning within development workflows.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/akto/reviews"><strong>Akto</strong></a><strong>:</strong> developer-friendly API security testing with smooth integration into CI pipelines; good balance of accuracy and speed.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/astra-pentest/reviews"><strong>Astra Pentest</strong></a><strong>: </strong>ideal for teams that need automated and manual testing combined; integrates into CI/CD and provides detailed vulnerability reports.</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">I based this on <strong>G2 satisfaction and G2 score data</strong>, focusing on platforms with proven integrations for continuous security testing. If your team’s goal is to catch vulnerabilities earlier in the release cycle, these five stand out for balancing accuracy, automation, and developer experience. My ask to the community: Of these, which DAST tools have actually fit smoothly into your CI/CD pipelines without slowing down builds or flooding you with false positives? Would love to hear from you! </p>
