Unified security scanning combines SAST, DAST, dependency vulnerability auditing, and SBOM generation to identify vulnerabilities across code, third-party libraries, and running applications. It maps findings to OWASP Top 10 and provides severity-classified remediation guidance.

SBOM generation creates a software bill of materials listing all components in your application. You need SBOM generation during vulnerability scanning to track third-party libraries, audit dependencies for known CVEs, and ensure a secure software delivery pipeline before deployment.

Yes, comprehensive security scanning supports dependency audits across npm, cargo, and dotnet ecosystems. It checks third-party libraries for known CVEs using tools like pip-audit and trivy, ensuring critical vulnerabilities are caught before deploying your application.

To find hardcoded secrets and injection flaws, run static application security testing (SAST) in static mode. This analyzes source code for vulnerabilities using tools like semgrep and gitleaks, mapping findings to OWASP Top 10 with clear remediation guidance.

Yes, you can use semgrep and gitleaks together for SAST. Semgrep analyzes source code for injection flaws while gitleaks detects hardcoded secrets, providing a comprehensive static security analysis that maps vulnerabilities to OWASP Top 10 categories.

Running DAST requires a running application instance to test for vulnerabilities dynamically, unlike SAST which analyzes static source code. DAST limitations include environment availability and configuration overhead, making it slower to integrate into rapid CI/CD pipelines compared to static and dependency scans.
