FAQ
Static Application Security Testing (SAST) analyzes source code or compiled versions of code to identify security vulnerabilities. It examines the code without executing the application. SAST tools scan the entire codebase to find potential security flaws early in the development process.
SAST analyzes source code statically, while DAST tests running applications from the outside. SAST can provide earlier feedback in the development process and cover more code paths. However, SAST may miss runtime and environment-related vulnerabilities that DAST can detect.
SAST can detect many vulnerabilities, including buffer overflows, SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and insecure cryptographic practices. It’s particularly effective at finding coding errors, insecure API usage, and coding standards violations. However, it may struggle with complex runtime issues or configuration-related vulnerabilities.
SAST can be implemented very early in the development process, as soon as the code is written. It can be integrated into developers’ IDEs for real-time feedback, run during code commits, or as part of the build process. Early implementation helps catch and fix vulnerabilities before they become entrenched in the codebase.
SAST is a crucial component of a well-rounded security program. It should be used alongside other techniques like DAST, manual code review, and penetration testing. SAST is particularly valuable for continuous testing in CI/CD pipelines and for maintaining code quality throughout development.
Organizations can reduce false positives by fine-tuning SAST tools to their specific codebase and practices. Regular updates to the SAST tool and its rule set are important. Implementing a triage process for SAST findings, where experienced developers review and validate results, can also help manage false positives effectively.
