ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

During integration testing, a development team inserts an agent into its Java web application so that security findings are generated while the existing functional test suite exercises the code. Under ISC2 best practices, what principal advantage does this Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) technique provide when compared with traditional Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)?

  • It avoids any integration with the build or runtime environment by scanning only external interfaces.

  • It eliminates the need for functional test traffic by automatically generating all inputs internally.

  • It pinpoints the specific file and line of code responsible for a vulnerability while the application is executing.

  • It can fully evaluate compiled binaries without running the application or providing test traffic.

Random Mixed
Questions are selected randomly from all chosen topics, with a preference for those you haven’t seen before. You may see several questions from the same objective or domain in a row.
Rotate by Objective
Questions cycle through each objective or domain in turn, helping you avoid long streaks of questions from the same area. You may see some repeat questions, but the distribution will be more balanced across topics.

Check or uncheck an objective to set which questions you will receive.
