Why You Can't "SAST" Your Way Through AI Security #AppSec #LLMs #CloudSecurity #Cybersecurity

AI apps break the traditional rules of application security. Here’s why: AI is cloud-native from day one. That means you’ve got runtime risk before your app even launches. Static analysis (SAST) doesn’t cut it. You can’t predict risk from just looking at code. AI models are just vectors. You need new methods.

5 SAST Purchasing Tips That Actually Maximize ROI

Following these 5 tips when purchasing a SAST tool will save you headaches and regrets. A flashy demo or “industry-leading” badge doesn’t mean much if the tool doesn’t work for your code, your developers, or your workflow. This short video covers 5 things every AppSec or engineering team should consider before signing on the dotted line. Because choosing the wrong tool won’t just cost you budget, it’ll cost you trust.

OWASP Dependency Check: How Does It Work?

The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP), is an online community that produces free, publicly available articles, methodologies, documentation, tools, and technologies in the field of web application security. Open source components have become an integral part of software development. According to Mend’s Risk Report, 96.8% of developers rely on open source components.

Embeddings vs. Generative Models #AI #RAG #AIExplained #MachineLearning #OpenAI #LLMs #AIsecurity

Not all AI models are made to generate. Some are built to understand. Here’s the key difference: Generative models take in text and produce new text (think ChatGPT). Embedding models take in text and translate it into numbers, vectors that capture meaning. Why does that matter? Because embedding models let you turn documents into searchable vectors. That means when someone asks a question, you don’t need to search the whole doc, you just find the most relevant chunks based on meaning. And that’s what makes things like RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) powerful and efficient.

Top Ten Tips to Choose a Great SAST Tool

Static application security testing (SAST) has matured from a gate-at-the-end to a developer-first discipline. Forrester’s Static Application Security Testing (SAST) 2025 landscape report highlights why: attack volume is rising, code is released at least monthly in one in four teams, and AI generated code is flooding pipelines with even more code to secure. The tools that succeed are those that shorten mean time to remediate (MTTR) while fitting the way modern teams build.

Building trust isn't reactive—it’s proactive. Discover how to open transparent conversations before issues arise, why trust must be built into every layer of your security program, and how to communicate that trust effectively during the sales process.

Dynamic Application Security Testing: DAST Basics

DAST is a security tool that attempts to penetrate an application from the outside by checking its exposed interfaces for vulnerabilities and flaws. Sometimes called a web application vulnerability scanner, it is a type of black-box security test. It looks for security vulnerabilities by simulating external attacks on an application while the application is running.
