Stop Choosing Between SAST and DAST—Start Connecting Them

AppSec teams face significant challenges due to tool sprawl, which leads to wasted time and inefficiencies as they deal with duplicate findings from multiple security tools like SAST and DAST. This issue results in engineers spending excessive time on triage and developers receiving conflicting signals, ultimately slowing remediation processes. The solution lies not in adding more tools but in smarter correlation of existing ones, allowing for efficient prioritization based on exploitability context. Correlating SAST and DAST findings provides a complete view of vulnerabilities, enhancing prioritization and remediation, and improving developer experiences by reducing noise and confusion. StackHawk exemplifies this approach by integrating DAST findings with SAST tools within the CI/CD pipeline, offering real-time correlation and streamlined workflows. For organizations, the focus shifts from merely increasing coverage to achieving security velocity through precise, actionable insights, demonstrating real risk reduction and improved remediation cycles.
