|:-------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
| [Container Scanning](container_scanning/index.md) | Uses `clair` underneath and the latest `clair-db` version is used for each job run by running the [`latest` docker image tag](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/438a0a56dc0882f22bdd82e700554525f552d91b/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Security/Container-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml#L37). The `clair-db` database [is updated daily according to the author](https://github.com/arminc/clair-local-scan#clair-server-or-local). |
| [Dependency Scanning](dependency_scanning/index.md) | Relies on `bundler-audit` (for Rubygems), `retire.js` (for NPM packages) and `gemnasium` (GitLab's own tool for all libraries). `bundler-audit` and `retire.js` both fetch their vulnerabilities data from GitHub repositories, so vulnerabilities added to `ruby-advisory-db` and `retire.js` are immediately available. The tools themselves are updated once per month if there's a new version. The [Gemnasium DB](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/gemnasium-db) is updated at least once a week. |
-| [Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)](dast/index.md) | Updated weekly on Sundays. The underlying tool, `zaproxy`, downloads fresh rules at startup. |
+| [Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)](dast/index.md) | The scanning engine is updated on a periodic basis. See the [version of the underlying tool `zaproxy`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/dast/blob/master/Dockerfile#L1). The scanning rules are downloaded at the runtime of the scan. |
| [Static Application Security Testing (SAST)](sast/index.md) | Relies exclusively on [the tools GitLab is wrapping](sast/index.md#supported-languages-and-frameworks). The underlying analyzers are updated at least once per month if a relevant update is available. The vulnerabilities database is updated by the upstream tools. |
You don't have to update GitLab to benefit from the latest vulnerabilities definitions,
