Best Static Application Security Testing (SAST) Software

Compare the Top Static Application Security Testing (SAST) Software as of April 2025

What is Static Application Security Testing (SAST) Software?

Static Application Security Testing (SAST) software analyzes the source code, binaries, or bytecode of an application to identify vulnerabilities before the code is run in production. This type of software scans the application at rest to detect issues such as coding errors, security flaws, and weaknesses like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and buffer overflows. SAST tools provide developers with early insights into potential security vulnerabilities, allowing them to fix issues before deployment. These tools are typically integrated into the software development lifecycle (SDLC), supporting secure coding practices and helping teams build more secure applications.

    Contrast Security

    Contrast Security

    Contrast Security

    Modern software development must match the speed of the business. But the modern AppSec tool soup lacks integration and creates complexity that slows software development life cycles. Contrast simplifies the complexity that impedes today’s development teams. Legacy AppSec employs a one-size-fits-all vulnerability detection and remediation approach that is inefficient and costly. Contrast automatically applies the best analysis and remediation technique, dramatically improving efficiencies and efficacy. Separate AppSec tools create silos that obfuscate the gathering of actionable intelligence across the application attack surface. Contrast delivers centralized observability that is critical to managing risks and capitalizing on operational efficiencies, both for security and development teams. Contrast Scan is pipeline native and delivers the speed, accuracy, and integration demanded by modern software development.
