Application security testing makes applications more resilient to security threats and identifies weaknesses and vulnerabilities in application source code. Initial days software code testing was done manually however as organizations matured and software’s became modular in nature and more and more open-source components being used large number of unknown vulnerabilities started surfacing in, the threat vector spectrum is broadened. The need was felt for automated testing tools so organizations started using a wide variety of tools to test the source code before applications are launched in production environments.

Overview

SAST is an integral part of application security for more than 15 years. Considering application vulnerabilities will continue to be the most common external cause of attack it is safe to say SAST will have a long road ahead. Year 2019 report of Forrester shows the majority of external attacks were carried out by exploiting software vulnerabilities (42%) contribution or via web applications which contributed 35% to breaches. It is a white box testing methodology where source code is analysed from inside out while other components are at rest.
