Opticca Security SAST (Static Application Security Testing) is a code analysis service that scans application source code for security vulnerabilities before compilation, enabling development teams to identify and remediate flaws early in the software development lifecycle (SDLC). The service detects a range of high-risk application vulnerabilities, including SQL injections, buffer overflows, cross-site scripting (XSS), and cross-site request forgeries (CSRF). It covers all vulnerabilities listed in the OWASP Top 10. Because analysis is performed on source code prior to compilation, SAST can be applied at any stage of the SDLC, including during design time. This allows issues to be identified and resolved without interrupting or breaking the application build process. The service is designed to integrate into existing development workflows, supporting integration with integrated development environments (IDEs), bug trackers, source code repositories, and other testing tools. It is positioned as a complement to existing CI/CD and DevSecOps practices. SAST testing provides coverage for both client-side and server-side vulnerabilities, with a near-certain detection rate for server-side issues. The service is offered as a consulting and managed solution, with Opticca Security providing guidance on technology selection, deployment, and management to suit varying organizational maturity levels and budgets.
