As development speeds continue to increase and teams embrace new development methodologies, SAST solutions that build security into the software development life cycle (SDLC), regardless of how and where the application is built, will lead the pack. Vendors that offer deep integration with the CI/CD pipeline; quickly expand to protect new architecture like containers, APIs, and infrastructure-as-code (IaC); and continuously improve on performance and accuracy, position themselves to delight both security and developer stakeholders."
