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.

SolarWinds Hack: How State Actors Infiltrated & What You Can Learn #cybersecurity #solarwinds

State actors played the long game by targeting SolarWinds’ build server, injecting malicious code without detection. Learn why code diffs, hash checks, and decompiling builds are critical for cybersecurity today.

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.
