SAST

SAST analyzes the code for security issues such as buffer overflows, SQL injections, cross-site scripting, and other types of security vulnerabilities. The goal of SAST is to catch security issues early in the software development process, before they can be exploited in the deployed application. SAST tools are typically integrated into the development process and can automate much of the analysis, making it easier for developers to identify and fix security issues.
