In this room, we will look at Static Application Security Testing (), one of the many tools used to detect vulnerabilities during the development lifecycle of an application. We will study its advantages and disadvantages and how it complements other methods to make apps secure early in development.

Learning Objectives

  • Learn how SAST can be applied to find weaknesses in real-world applications.
  • Understand the pros and cons of using SAST.
  • Familiarise yourself with how SAST can be implemented in a development lifecycle.

Room Prerequisites
