Case study 2

A large financial institution was in the process of building a new online banking application. The application was designed to give customers a convenient and secure way to manage their accounts and conduct online transactions. As part of their development process, they integrated SAST into their development pipeline to identify any potential security vulnerabilities in their code.

During one of their SAST scans, they discovered a critical vulnerability in their application code. The vulnerability was a remote code execution flaw that could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the server hosting the application. If left unaddressed, this vulnerability potentially exposed sensitive customer data and allowed attackers to take control of the application and the underlying infrastructure.

Thanks to the early detection provided by SAST, the development team was able to quickly remediate the issue before deploying the application to production. They fixed the...
