Original Post: SAST designed and built for engineers
The content focuses on the significance of early vulnerability detection in security and introduces Semgrep Code, an advanced Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tool. Traditional SAST tools suffer from slow scanning, poor integration with developer workflows, and frequent false positives. Semgrep OSS has been popular due to its customization, speed, and ease of use.
Semgrep Code Overview:
- Announcement: Introduction of Semgrep Code, building on Semgrep OSS’s foundation.
- Improvements: Enhanced analysis and high-confidence rules to detect and remediate complex vulnerabilities.
Key Features:
- Pro Engine: Incorporates interfile analysis, reducing noise and uncovering new vulnerabilities. Currently in open beta for Java and JavaScript, with experimental support for Apex.
- Pro Rules: Authored by Semgrep’s Security Research team, these rules offer high coverage and confidence for security teams, available in Team and Enterprise tiers.
Capabilities:
- Quick Deployment: Integrates into CI pipelines, enabling rapid scanning of all repositories within minutes.
- Easy Monitoring: Displays scan results on the Semgrep Cloud Platform, allowing high-level and detailed views of vulnerabilities.
- Actionable Results: Allows real-time triage and rule adjustments, notifying developers of vulnerabilities as they code.
Next Steps:
- Invitation to try Semgrep Code through a demo booking, aiming to establish it as a leading all-in-one code security platform.
