SAST is able to be integrated into continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) that allows development teams to ensure security is a key element of their development process. This article examines the significance of SAST for security of application. It is also a look at its impact on the workflow of developers and how it helps to ensure the achievement of DevSecOps. The Evolving Landscape of Application Security Security of applications is a key security issue in today's world of digital that is changing rapidly. This applies to organizations of all sizes and industries. Security measures that are traditional aren't enough because of the complexity of software as well as the advanced cyber-attacks. The need for a proactive, continuous, and integrated approach to security of applications has led to the DevSecOps movement. DevSecOps represents a paradigm shift in software development, in which security is seamlessly integrated into every stage of the development lifecycle. Through breaking down the barriers between security, development, and teams for operations, DevSecOps enables organizations to provide quality, secure software at a faster pace. At the heart of this transformation lies Static Application Security Testing (SAST). Understanding Static Application Security Testing SAST is a white-box test technique that analyzes the source software of an application, but not performing it. It scans code to identify security vulnerabilities such as SQL Injection and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and Buffer Overflows and other. SAST tools employ a range of methods to spot security vulnerabilities in the initial phases of development such as the analysis of data flow and control flow. O
