SAST can be integrated into the continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) that allows developers to ensure that security is a key element of the development process. This article explores the importance of SAST for security of application. It also examines its impact on the workflow of developers and how it contributes towards the achievement of DevSecOps. The Evolving Landscape of Application Security In the rapidly changing digital world, security of applications has become a paramount issue for all companies across industries. Due to the ever-growing complexity of software systems and the ever-increasing sophistication of cyber threats traditional security strategies are no longer adequate. The requirement for a proactive continuous, and integrated approach to security for applications has led to the DevSecOps movement. DevSecOps is a paradigm change in the field of software development. Security has been seamlessly integrated into all stages of development. By breaking down the silos between security, development, and operations teams, DevSecOps enables organizations to provide high-quality, secure software at a faster pace. The heart of this process is Static Application Security Testing (SAST). Understanding Static Application Security Testing (SAST) SAST is an analysis technique for white-box programs that does not execute the application. It analyzes the code to find security flaws such as SQL Injection as well as Cross-Site scripting (XSS) and Buffer Overflows, and many more. SAST tools employ a variety of methods, including data flow analysis as well as control flow analysis and pa
