Examining the influence of static application security testing on the overall security of web applications

Abstract

With the exponential growth of the internet and the rising reliance on web applications, ensuring their security has become a critical concern for organizations and individuals alike. Web applications are often vulnerable to a range of cyber threats, including data breaches, unauthorized access, and other malicious activities. In this context, Static Application Security Testing (SAST) has emerged as a crucial technique for strengthening web application security by identifying and mitigating potential vulnerabilities during the development stage.
