Oxeye joins GitLab to advance application security capabilities

GitLab's acquisition of Oxeye aims to enhance its Static Application Security Testing (SAST) capabilities, accelerating its roadmap for improving application security within its DevSecOps platform. Since introducing SAST in 2017, GitLab has focused on refining its tool to deliver accurate security insights with reduced false positives, ensuring seamless integration into the software development lifecycle. The acquisition of Oxeye will bolster GitLab's ability to manage vulnerabilities effectively, leveraging Oxeye's advanced scanning technology to provide runtime context and trace vulnerabilities from "code to cloud." This move aligns with GitLab's commitment to innovation in static analysis, being recognized for its comprehensive, AI-powered platform that combines security with source control and other development tools. By enhancing its SAST offerings, GitLab seeks to empower developers to improve product security and address critical and exploitable weaknesses, further supporting organizations in mitigating security risks during digital transformation initiatives.
