What Are Application Security Testing Tools? Application security testing (AST) tools identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in software applications. These tools assess code, application behavior, or its environment to detect potential security risks. They help developers and security teams prevent cyberattacks by addressing security issues during the development and deployment phases.

Best SAST Solutions: How to Choose Between the Top 11 Tools in 2025 Static Application Security Testing (SAST) is a proactive approach to identifying security vulnerabilities in source code during development. This article delves into the core features of SAST tools, reviews leading solutions, and provides guidance on selecting the right tool to enhance your software’s security posture.

AI is reshaping software development quickly. From boilerplate generation to test automation and refactoring, LLMs like the one behind Cursor are transforming how developers build. But with great power comes a new generation of vulnerabilities. At Mend.io, we’re excited to announce a native integration with Cursor, the IDE taking the dev world by storm.

Every DevSecOps, cloud security and even AppSec team knows the feeling: scanners flag hundreds – sometimes thousands – of critical issues across your pipelines, environments and apps. But how many of those findings actually matter? How many represent real, immediate risk to applications running in production? The uncomfortable answer? Very few. At ARMO, we’ve seen firsthand how over 60% of security findings are irrelevant hypothetical risks that will never be exploited.
