Semgrep + StackHawk: Unified SAST & DAST For Faster Fixes

SAST (Static Application Security Testing) and DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing) are essential for application security, with SAST identifying vulnerabilities early in the code and DAST validating which vulnerabilities are exploitable in running applications. However, when these tools operate independently, they often flag the same vulnerabilities multiple times, creating challenges in prioritization and remediation. StackHawk’s integration with Semgrep addresses this by correlating SAST findings with runtime API testing, offering a unified view of vulnerabilities from code to production. This integration allows security teams to see which code-level issues are actually exploitable, eliminates duplicate alerts, and helps prioritize remediation efforts. By leveraging the strengths of both tools, this solution provides comprehensive security coverage and streamlines the process, adapting to the fast-paced nature of modern development.
