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
