Application Security (SAST/DAST)
Finding and remediating vulnerabilities and secrets before production
Shift-left security is a key paradigm of modern application security – finding and remediating vulnerabilities in the early stages of development is many times cheaper than in production. Static Application Security Testing (SAST) analyzes source code, while Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) tests running applications. Detecting secrets (API keys, passwords, tokens) in source code and Git history prevents serious incidents. Integrating security testing into the CI/CD pipeline automates this process, ensuring that every release passes security gates.
What problems it solves
- Vulnerabilities introduced during development
- Secrets and keys in source code
- Lack of security testing automation
- Deployment delays caused by manual audits
Typical use cases
- Integrating SAST/DAST into the CI/CD pipeline
- Automated code scanning
- Detecting secrets in repositories
- Security gates in the release process
Partners in this area
Aikido
A comprehensive application security platform designed for developers. Aikido combines SAST, DAST, SCA, secret scanning, and container security in a single tool, integrating seamlessly with the CI/CD pipeline. The platform prioritizes vulnerabilities and eliminates false positives.
Sweet Security
Sweet Security is a Runtime CNAPP that detects and blocks attacks on cloud infrastructure, workloads, applications and AI agents while the attack is still under way. A lightweight eBPF sensor and cloud logs build a behavioral baseline of the environment, and a single detection engine correlates events across every layer to cut MTTR to minutes, according to Sweet Security data.
