How Semgrep & StackHawk Help AppSec Teams Prioritize Real Risks
Blog post from Semgrep
The integration of Semgrep's static analysis (SAST) with StackHawk's dynamic testing (DAST) aims to streamline application security workflows by providing a unified view of vulnerabilities, thereby reducing the noise and inefficiencies associated with disconnected testing tools. While static analysis identifies vulnerabilities early in the development process, dynamic testing evaluates their exploitability in a running environment. The integration addresses the challenges of duplicate findings and fragmented visibility by correlating code-level issues with runtime vulnerabilities, allowing AppSec teams to focus on actionable risks. This coordinated approach enhances remediation efficiency and strengthens the collaboration between development and security teams by offering a single source of truth regarding vulnerability risk. In an era of rapid software development accelerated by AI and automation, this integration is a significant advancement in application security maturity, ensuring that teams can prioritize real threats and improve remediation outcomes.
