Overview

In this video, we will be discussing SAST (Static Application Security Testing). SAST is a type of security testing that analyzes the source code of an application in order to identify vulnerabilities and security risks. It is an important step in the development process as it helps to ensure that an application is secure before it is deployed.

However, SAST has some major challenges and rolling out successfully is never easy. Organisations across the globe struggle with making SAST effective for their companies. Hence, in this episode we have Siddhant Rath joining us to discuss the benefits, challenges and most importantly, how to properly roll out SAST in an organisation.
