Continuous code scanning
Identify potential security vulnerabilities and coding errors in your codebase, allowing you to fix them before attackers can exploit them.
Challenges
SAST’s bad rap
SAST should be more than a compliance checklist item, but both dev and sec teams often face frustrating hurdles that block them from maximizing its benefits. And as we all know, if a tool is hard to use, your team likely won’t use it.
Developer frustration
High false positives. Lack of context. Long learning curves. That’s a recipe for low adoption rates.
Implementation issues
Some SAST tools require devs to build or package code in a specific way. Others take forever to scan–and require manual handholding to run.
Fragmented visibility
Security teams often struggle to get clear visibility due to low adoption rates and integration challenges.
Opportunities
Solve for different needs
Getting the most out of SAST starts with the realization that dev and sec teams have different—but complementary—needs. And to meet those needs, your solutions need to work where they live, and support how they work.
Integrate
Prioritize
Cut through the noise with solutions that offer prioritized, near real-time results so devs focus on the most important issues—without a wait.
Unify
Give your sec team a unified view of application risk across various environments and other security tools.

Scan code and prioritize fixes 10 times faster than traditional scanners
Discover Mend SAST
“One of our most indicative KPIs is the amount of time for us to remediate vulnerabilities and also the amount of time developers spend fixing vulnerabilities in our code base, which has reduced significantly. We’re talking about at least 80% reduction in time.”
“When the product you sell is an application you develop, your teams need to be fast, secure and compliant. These three factors often work in opposite directions. Mend provides the opportunity to align these often competing factors, providing Vonage with an advantage in a very competitive marketplace.”
“The biggest value we get out of Mend is the fast feedback loop, which enables our developers to respond rapidly to any vulnerability or license issues. When a vulnerability or a license is disregarded or blocked, and there is a policy violation, they get the feedback directly.”
