Building a Practical SAST Pipeline

A useful SAST pipeline should provide actionable feedback without making developers ignore every alert.

Pipeline

A practical flow is:

Pull Request
    ↓
SAST
    ↓
Secret Scan
    ↓
Dependency Scan
    ↓
Triage
    ↓
Developer Feedback

Triage

Prioritize findings using exploitability, reachability, confidence and business impact.

Conclusion

Security automation is valuable only when teams can understand and act on its results.
