What is Static Application Security Testing (SAST)?

Static Application Security Testing (SAST) involves analyzing an applications source code, bytecode, or binary code to identify vulnerabilities and security flaws before the application is deployed. This process helps developers to detect and address potential security issues early in the development lifecycle.
Static Application Security Testing typically includes:

  • Code Analysis: Reviewing the application code for vulnerabilities such as insecure coding practices and potential security flaws.
  • Configuration Review: Assessing application and system configurations for security misconfigurations.
  • Compliance Checking: Ensuring that the application adheres to relevant security standards and regulations.
  • Integration Testing: Testing how the application integrates with other systems and components to identify potential security issues.
  • Reporting: Documenting findings, their impact, and providing recommendations for remediation.

Key Areas of Static Application Security Testing

Static Application Security Testing (SAST) is essential for identifying vulnerabilities within the applications source code and configuration. As software complexity increases, it is crucial to perform thorough code analysis to protect against vulnerabilities such as insecure coding practices, configuration issues, and compliance violations. This testing helps improve code security and maintain a robust security posture.

Code Analysis

Review the applications source code for vulnerabilities, insecure coding practices, and potential security flaws.

Vulnerability Detection

Identify and address vulnerabilities in the application code and configurations to prevent potential security issues.

Security Policies

Ensure that the application adheres to security policies and standards to maintain consistent protection and compliance.

Access Control

Evaluate and enforce access control measures to ensure that sensitive data and functionalities are protected from unauthorized access.

HOW IT WORKS?

Static Application Security Testing (SAST) Methodology

Our Static Application Security Testing (SAST) process focuses on analyzing your applications source code and configuration to identify vulnerabilities before deployment. This proactive approach helps secure your application by detecting and addressing issues early in the development cycle.

Code Review:

Examine the source code for security vulnerabilities and adherence to best coding practices.

Configuration Analysis:

Analyze configuration files and settings for potential security misconfigurations.

Dependency Checking:

Identify and assess risks associated with third-party libraries and dependencies.

Static Code Analysis:

Utilize automated tools to scan the codebase for known security issues and vulnerabilities.

Threat Modeling:

Identify potential threats and attack vectors based on the application's architecture and code.

Compliance Verification:

Ensure the application adheres to relevant security standards and compliance requirements.

Report Generation:

Produce comprehensive reports detailing identified vulnerabilities, their impact, and suggested remediation steps.

Remediation Validation:

Reassess the application to confirm that identified issues have been addressed and resolved.
