Improve Intro overview of DAST
Problem to solve
Currently, the introduction to DAST documentation does not clearly explain what DAST is or why a customer would use it. It states:
If you deploy your web application into a new environment, your application may become exposed to new types of attacks. For example, misconfigurations of your application server or incorrect assumptions about security controls may not be visible from the source code.
Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) examines applications for vulnerabilities like these in deployed environments.
This is confusing and not descriptive enough for anyone who does not already know what DAST is.
