The best SCA tool for a startup is the one your team keeps running. Start free with Dependabot alerts or OSV-Scanner, then add reachability and licenses.
SAST applies fixed rules to your whole codebase. AI code review reads a pull request in context. Their differences, limits and how to use both safely.
Free SAST tools come with catches: repo type, contributor caps, test limits or a rules license. What each free option includes, per the vendors' own pages.
Which SAST tool for which language: Bandit for Python, eslint-plugin-security for JavaScript, Find Security Bugs for Java, gosec for Go, and general tools.
Set up SAST on pull requests in five steps: pick a scanner, run it on the pull request trigger, report changed code, tune it, then block on high severity.
Cut SAST false positives by scanning changed code only, trimming rules, suppressing with reasons and checking reachability. Seven steps, with the switches.
SAST reads source code, DAST attacks a running app, IAST watches it from inside. Here is what each finds, what each misses and the order to adopt them.
