FAQPage Schema

How do I run static analysis to find security vulnerabilities in my code?▼

Static analysis identifies security vulnerabilities by scanning your codebase for known patterns and flaws. This process automates security scanning across various programming languages to detect issues like SQL injection and hardcoded secrets before merging code.

Can I integrate vulnerability scanning into my CI/CD pipeline?▼

Yes, you can integrate vulnerability scanning into CI/CD pipelines to automate code analysis during builds. This ensures that security checks and coding standard enforcement run automatically before code is merged.

What is taint mode analysis and when do I need it for security scanning?▼

Taint mode analysis tracks untrusted user input through your codebase to identify where it reaches dangerous sinks. You need it for deep security scanning when tracking complex data flows to prevent injection vulnerabilities.

How do I create custom rules to enforce coding standards in my project?▼

You can create custom rules to define and apply specific pattern matching tailored to your project's needs. This allows you to enforce coding standards and identify unique security flaws beyond default vulnerability scanning rules.

Does static analysis work across multiple programming languages?▼

Static analysis works across various programming languages by using pattern matching to find security flaws. This cross-language support allows you to scan a diverse codebase without needing separate tools for each language.

Why use fast static analysis instead of other security scanning methods?▼

Fast static analysis rapidly identifies vulnerabilities and code quality issues without executing the code. This speed makes it highly suitable for frequent CI/CD integration and quick feedback loops during development.
