4 reasons why you need to upgrade your application security testing tools to tackle supply chain security

The traditional tools suite of static application security testing (SAST), dynamic application security testing (DAST) and software composition analysis (SCA) are mainstays of modern secure software development practices. SAST helps organizations detect and mitigate vulnerabilities in internally developed, pre-production source code. Many use DAST to test running applications for potential vulnerabilities and configuration errors, and SCA to identify vulnerabilities in open-source software and for creating a basic Software Bill of Materials (SBOM).

These practices have helped shift security further left …
