DevSecOps Automation: A Deep Dive into SAST

Short summary

SAST tools like Semgrep and CodeQL automatically scan code for security vulnerabilities before deployment, catching SQL injection and credential leaks early. Both GitLab and GitHub embed SAST into CI/CD pipelines with straightforward setup. Running security analysis locally or in pipelines costs far less than fixing exploited vulnerabilities in production.

• •SAST automatically scans code for vulnerabilities like SQL injection and hardcoded credentials before production
• •GitLab and GitHub natively integrate SAST with CI/CD; Semgrep and CodeQL are the go-to engines
• •Early security detection in development is orders of magnitude cheaper than post-exploitation incident response
