The Social Security Administration (SSA) seeks a Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) solution to perform black box testing on applications as they execute, complementing existing static tools. This procurement aims to bolster FISMA metrics, satisfy external audit requirements, and support new penetration testing mandates for all Tier 1 applications and systems undergoing the Authority to Operate (ATO) process. The solution is needed immediately to identify exploits early in the development lifecycle and prevent security breaches before production deployment. No specific budget amount or performance location is mentioned in the description. The funding is required urgently to support multiple federal mandates and workload demands.
