We benchmarked top SAST products, and this is what we learned

When we started to build Bearer, we wanted to understand how to validate the quality of our findings and be able to benchmark it. Code security scanning solutions are notorious for reporting a lot of false positives and other deficiencies, and even though we believed we could do much better, we needed a way to prove it. In Java, there is an OWASP project, BenchmarkJava, which makes it easy to compare the output of two software security solutions.
