The benefits of SAST
SAST provides several benefits for organizations looking to improve the security of their software applications. Here are some of the key benefits of SAST:
- Early identification of security vulnerabilities: SAST tools analyze application source code before it is compiled and deployed, allowing vulnerabilities to be identified early in the development cycle. This enables organizations to remediate vulnerabilities before they are deployed into production, reducing the risk of security incidents and minimizing the cost of remediation.
- Integration into the development process: SAST tools can be integrated into the SDLC, providing feedback to developers during the coding process. This allows developers to address vulnerabilities as they are introduced, reducing the need for post-release remediation.
- Comprehensive analysis: SAST tools can perform a comprehensive analysis of the application source code, identifying potential vulnerabilities that may not...
