Why traditional DAST misses your API vulnerabilities (and how to fix it in CI/CD)

Short answer: traditional DAST scanners miss most API vulnerabilities because they crawl HTML pages an API does not have, ignore the schema that defines its real attack surface, and test for injection instead of the broken-authorization flaws that cause actual API breaches. The fix is schema-aware, authenticated testing wired into CI/CD so it runs on every pull request. The rest of this article shows why the old model breaks and how to close the gap.
