APPLICATION SECURITY TESTING (AST)
Static Application Security Testing (SAST) is an essential practice in application security, focusing on identifying vulnerabilities within the source code early in the development process.
The SAST tool first parses the source code to understand its structure, identifying all functions, variables, and data flows.
It then applies a set of predefined security rules and patterns to the code, looking for known vulnerabilities such as insecure coding practices, poor input validation, and inadequate error handling.
SAST analyzes how data moves through the application, detecting issues like improper data handling, which could lead to security breaches.
After analysis, the tool produces a detailed report highlighting the vulnerabilities found, their potential impact, and recommendations for fixes.
SAST can be integrated into CI/CD pipelines, enabling continuous scanning of code as it is developed, ensuring security is built into every stage of the development process.
