The server hummed in the dark, waiting for code to reveal its flaws. You walk in, deploy your stack, and want total control. An IAST self-hosted instance gives you that control without leaking data to any third party.
IAST — Interactive Application Security Testing — runs inside the application during execution. It detects security vulnerabilities with real-time precision. A self-hosted instance means the IAST platform lives inside your own infrastructure, behind your own network, and under your security policies. No external dependencies. No blind spots.
Running IAST in a self-hosted mode avoids the latency and exposure of SaaS-based scanning. Your code stays where it belongs, and the analysis happens as the app runs, monitoring inputs, outputs, and data flows across the system. It finds SQL injection, XSS, insecure deserialization, and other high-impact flaws before they reach production. It works in staging, QA, and even pre-deployment environments.
Set up is straightforward: provision a server, configure the agent, point it to your application runtime, and connect it to your CI/CD pipeline. Metrics and reports remain inside your perimeter, ensuring compliance with strict regulations and internal governance. Scaling a self-hosted instance is as simple as adding more resources and registering additional agents. You own the data, the speed, and the uptime.
Security teams choose self-hosted IAST when they need continuous, integrated testing that adapts to their exact workflows. It is not a static scanner. It observes live execution, logs findings in context, and can be tuned for specific frameworks and languages. This produces actionable intelligence with less noise and faster remediation cycles.
Make your deployment faster and safer with a self-hosted IAST instance. Keep control, keep performance, and keep every byte inside your own walls. See how with hoop.dev — launch your own secure instance and watch it run in minutes.
