Original Post: Overcoming Limitations of SAST and Other Traditional Software Security Testing Tools | by BugProve | May, 2024
Embedded software is vital in modern-day technology, but it presents challenges in terms of security. Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools are automated tools that can analyze code for potential vulnerabilities without executing the application. SAST tools can identify common security flaws, such as buffer overflows and SQL injections, early in the development process. While SAST tools have limitations, such as false positives, they can be integrated into development processes to improve security. To enhance security testing, a combination of tools, such as SAST, DAST, IAST, and SCA, should be used. BugProve’s platform offers additional value by combining static and semi-dynamic analysis techniques to detect vulnerabilities in device firmware. By utilizing BugProve and other security testing tools, development teams can improve their security testing processes and ensure product safety.
