Let’s look at the various strengths and weaknesses of these solutions: Software Composition Analysis allows organizations to find outdated software dependencies. Static Analysis can be applied to a program’s source code, but works with an abstraction that does not operate against the code that actually executes.

Mayhem combines fuzzing with ML techniques such as symbolic execution, a program analysis technique that determines what inputs cause each part of a program to execute. Fuzzing is a powerful tool for detecting vulnerabilities in software. Mayhem uses fuzzing along with other techniques to find vulnerabilities in software.

To make matters worse, the approaches that static analysis (SAST) and software composition analysis (SCA) take inherently place testers in a reactive position -- meaning they’ll never get ahead of the threat landscape. These tools base their checkers and test cases on already known information -- CWEs and/or CVEs.

There are several benefits for using Static Analysis Security Testing (SAST) for your software security. However, I can think of at least six challenges to this form of analysis. SAST does not use the actual executable/binary for analysis; it typically uses a representation of your program. Six Problems. Enter Fuzzing.

” If we continue to rely on the same assumptions and apply simplified approaches to this complex problem, we only add the risk of adding yet another technique to the mix, forcing onto vendors another tool they must not only add, but also maintain as a part of their larger application security testing program. This is undesirable.

A benchmarking study by the NSA Center for Assured Software found that the average SAST tool covers only 8 out of 13 weakness classes and finds only 22 percent of flaws in each weakness class. Based on these numbers, the average SAST tool is likely to find only 14 percent of the vulnerabilities in an application’s code.

Many R&D teams have come to this realization and have armed their developers with static application security testing (SAST) tools. While SAST have their place in the SDLC and offer tremendous benefits, they unfortunately are not the ideal technique for automation and autonomous security testing.
