What is Static Application Security Testing (SAST) Software for Visual Studio?

Static Application Security Testing (SAST) software analyzes the source code, binaries, or bytecode of an application to identify vulnerabilities before the code is run in production. This type of software scans the application at rest to detect issues such as coding errors, security flaws, and weaknesses like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and buffer overflows. SAST tools provide developers with early insights into potential security vulnerabilities, allowing them to fix issues before deployment. These tools are typically integrated into the software development lifecycle (SDLC), supporting secure coding practices and helping teams build more secure applications.

    Contrast Security

    Contrast Security

    Contrast Security

    Modern software development must match the speed of the business. But the modern AppSec tool soup lacks integration and creates complexity that slows software development life cycles. Contrast simplifies the complexity that impedes today’s development teams. Legacy AppSec employs a one-size-fits-all vulnerability detection and remediation approach that is inefficient and costly. Contrast automatically applies the best analysis and remediation technique, dramatically improving efficiencies and efficacy. Separate AppSec tools create silos that obfuscate the gathering of actionable intelligence across the application attack surface. Contrast delivers centralized observability that is critical to managing risks and capitalizing on operational efficiencies, both for security and development teams. Contrast Scan is pipeline native and delivers the speed, accuracy, and integration demanded by modern software development.

    CodeSonar

    CodeSonar

    CodeSecure

    CodeSonar employs a unified dataflow and symbolic execution analysis that examines the computation of the complete application. By not relying on pattern matching or similar approximations, CodeSonar's static analysis engine is extraordinarily deep, finding 3-5 times more defects on average than other static analysis tools. Unlike many software development tools, such as testing tools, compilers, configuration management, etc., SAST tools can be integrated into a team's development process at any time with ease. SAST technologies like CodeSonar simply attach to your existing build environments to add analysis information to your verification process. Like a compiler, CodeSonar does a build of your code using your existing build environment, but instead of creating object code, CodeSonar creates an abstract model of your entire program. From the derived model, CodeSonar’s symbolic execution engine explores program paths, reasoning about program variables and how they relate.
