SAST in CI/CD Pipelines

Integrating static application security testing into CI/CD pipelines is essential for catching vulnerabilities early. Here's how to implement effective SAST integration based on real-world experience.

Tool Selection & Configuration

Choose SAST tools that integrate well with your development stack. Tools like Veracode and Checkmarx offer good coverage, but custom in-house solutions can be tailored to your specific needs.

Successful SAST integration requires balancing security coverage with development velocity. Focus on critical vulnerabilities and minimize false positives to maintain developer adoption.
