Unlike dynamic application security testing (DAST), which examines the application during runtime, SAST examines the code itself before compilation or execution. This allows developers to identify and address vulnerabilities early in the software development lifecycle (SDLC), reducing the risk of costly remediation efforts later on.

Fluid Attacks' static analysis is recommended by the App Defense Alliance Cloud Application Security Assessment (CASA) framework. This recognition underscores its effectiveness for evaluating that software is secure for its users. Furthermore, it has achieved a true positive rate of 100% and a false positive rate of 0% against the OWASP Benchmark, a widely recognized standard for evaluating security testing tools. This means that Fluid Attacks' AppSec testing tool accurately identifies real vulnerabilities without raising false alarms, ensuring efficient and reliable security analysis.

To learn more about Fluid Attacks' SAST capabilities, refer to the following resources in this Knowledge Base:

1. Supported languages, frameworks and files in SAST: Discover the extensive range of programming languages supported by the static analysis tool. This way you can assess its compatibility with your specific development environment and technology stack.
   
2. Security requirements by language: Understand the comprehensive set of security requirements that form the basis of Fluid Attacks' SAST scans. This page and the pages linked therein inform you of the types of vulnerabilities the tool can detect and the security standards it verifies in your code.
   
3. Configure the tests by the standalone scanner: Perform SAST, among other techniques, with Fluid Attacks' free and open-source command-line interface (CLI) tool.
