Why is it needed?
- Early detection of vulnerabilities: By scanning the source code or binaries early in the development cycle, SAST can identify vulnerabilities before they reach production.
- Compliance requirements: Many industries require regular security testing to comply with standards like PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR.
- Reduce security risks: Proactively identifying and fixing vulnerabilities reduces the likelihood of security breaches.
- Improve code quality: SAST helps improve overall software quality by identifying and resolving issues in code, reducing bugs and improving performance.
What we offer?
With iScutum’s SAST as a Service, we provide:
- Comprehensive scanning: Thorough analysis of your source code to detect a wide range of vulnerabilities, such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and buffer overflows.
- Customizable configurations: Tailored security testing based on your specific application architecture, programming languages, and frameworks.
- Integration with CI/CD pipelines: Seamlessly integrate SAST tools into your development process to ensure continuous security testing.
- Actionable reports: Detailed vulnerability reports with recommended fixes, helping developers address security issues quickly.
- Expert support: Our team of security experts provides guidance on remediation and securing your application.
Example
During a SAST scan of a web application, the service identified a vulnerable piece of code susceptible to SQL injection attacks. With this early detection, the development team was able to fix the issue before the application went live, avoiding potential data breaches.
SAST as a Service helps secure applications by finding and fixing vulnerabilities early, reducing development costs, and improving overall security.
