Apps with no SAST

Overview

The Apps with No SAST widget displays the number of applications that do not have Static Application Security Testing (SAST) enabled or configured. This widget is essential for IT Operations (IT Ops) and Security Operations (Sec Ops) engineers who want to ensure comprehensive security coverage across all applications.

Value for IT and Security Engineers

Security Perspective

• Coverage Gaps Identification: Highlights applications that lack SAST integration, allowing Sec Ops engineers to quickly identify and address gaps in code security scanning.

• Risk Reduction: By surfacing unscanned applications, this widget enables teams to prioritize onboarding them to SAST tools, reducing the risk of undetected vulnerabilities.

• Security Maturity Tracking: Helps measure the adoption of secure development practices across the organization.

Operational Perspective

• Visibility and Accountability: IT Ops engineers gain visibility into which applications are missing critical security controls, supporting compliance and audit initiatives.

• Onboarding Prioritization: Facilitates planning and resource allocation for integrating SAST into the development lifecycle of uncovered applications.

• DevSecOps Enablement: Encourages collaboration between development, operations, and security teams to achieve full security tool coverage.

Use Case Scenarios

• Security Program Improvement: Use the widget to drive initiatives aimed at achieving 100% SAST coverage across all applications.

• Audit and Compliance: Demonstrate to auditors and stakeholders that all applications are being monitored for code vulnerabilities.

• Risk Management: Prioritize onboarding of high-risk or business-critical applications to SAST tools.

By providing clear visibility into applications lacking SAST coverage, the Apps with No SAST widget empowers IT and Security engineers to close security gaps, improve risk management, and support compliance efforts.
