Top 10 Static Application Security Testing (SAST) Tools in 2025

Imagine you’re all prepared to roll out your latest feature, and suddenly, right before launch, you discover a security vulnerability concealed in your code. Depending on the severity, developers can spend anywhere from 7 hours to days or even months finding and fixing these vulnerabilities. A critical vulnerability could set your release back by weeks, while a simple fix might take a day.

Don't Treat DAST Like Dessert

Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), sometimes referred to as “pentesting in a box”, tests running code for a variety of issues that can’t easily be found by analyzing code with static scanning tools. DAST tools are platform and language agnostic—as long as you have a website or API they can connect to, they’ll get the job done, and find real vulnerabilities in the same places an attacker would.

How to detect more bugs in AUTOSAR Applications and enable SiL testing by using a simulator

Testing Classic AUTOSAR applications has long been a significant challenge due to the reliance on hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) setups, which are costly, complex, and hard to scale. Code Intelligence’s new lightweight AUTOSAR simulator revolutionizes this process by enabling entire AUTOSAR applications to run on x86 Linux systems, thus facilitating software-in-the-loop (SiL) testing.

The Difference Between Pentesting, DAST and ASM

Penetration testing, dynamic application security testing (DAST), and attack surface management (ASM) are all strategies designed to manage an organization’s digital attack surface. However, while each aids in identifying and closing vulnerabilities, they have significant differences and play complementary roles within a corporate cybersecurity strategy. Let’s take a quick look at the definition of each of these strategies.

Automating Security Workflows with DAST Essentials

In today's digital landscape, developers face mounting pressure to deliver secure applications within tight deadlines. But with faster release cycles, it becomes challenging to prioritize security. Security testing needs to work and scale within your DevOps speed and release frequency. Web applications are highly targeted assets, accounting for 40% of breaches within organizations, according to the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report.

Redefining Security Investments: SAST Scans and DFPM

In today's ever-evolving digital landscape, teams must have a strong understanding of the security measures that will work best for their environment and how to implement them. During this event, we explore the benefits of utilizing SAST scans and DFPM (Data Flow Posture Management) tools to create robust security guardrails for your organization. Hear from Anirban Banerjee, CEO and Co-founder of Riscosity, and Milan Williams, Sr. Product Manager at Semgrep, as they dive into how teams can approach security investments starting with SAST scans and data flow security.
