static-analysis

Static code analysis and security scanning can be automated to identify vulnerabilities, code quality issues, and dependency risks using Datadog's Code Security features. This process scans your codebase to detect security flaws across supported programming languages.

Software composition analysis tracks open-source dependencies to identify vulnerabilities, CVEs, and end-of-life libraries. It monitors library versions and license compliance to ensure secure software development and manage dependency health.

Yes, Datadog API access is required to run SAST and SCA checks. You also need the pup CLI tool installed to automate the scanning process and manage code quality, security vulnerabilities, and dependency checks within your workflow.

Yes, you can scan a Java application for security vulnerabilities and outdated dependencies. The automated scanning process identifies code quality issues, tracks open-source dependencies, and ensures the application meets security standards.

The best way to prioritize security findings and code quality violations is through automated vulnerability management. This approach provides actionable insights and tracks code quality metrics to help you maintain code health and address critical risks first.

Static code analysis is supported across 14+ programming languages. It identifies security vulnerabilities and code quality issues in your codebase regardless of the specific language used within the supported range.
