How do i choose a SAST?

Choosing the right SAST (Static Application Security Testing) tool depends on several key factors:

Language and Framework Support: Ensure the SAST tool supports your organization's programming languages and frameworks. Some tools are better suited for specific languages.

Accuracy and False Positives: To reduce the time spent on non-issues, opt for a tool known for high accuracy and minimal false positives. Conduct research reviews and trials to assess performance.

Integration with CI/CD Pipelines: Choose a SAST tool that integrates seamlessly into your existing CI/CD pipeline and development tools (e.g., GitLab, GitHub) to ensure continuous security testing throughout the development lifecycle.

Customization and Scalability: Look for a tool that allows customization based on your organization's specific security needs and can scale as your application and development team grows.

Compliance Requirements: If your industry requires certain security standards (e.g., PCI-DSS, GDPR), ensure the tool can help meet these compliance requirements.

Prioritizing these factors will help ensure you select a SAST tool that fits your needs.
