Semgrep: Making Shift Left Work

SAST

Static Application Security Testing

Increase security while accelerating development with modern SAST solution

Findings, actually fixed

Modern SAST solutions can help with many kinds of OWASP Top 10 issues. Semgrep Code’s engine and rules are designed to produce high confidence, highly actionable results that developers trust.

Use AI augmentation to automatically prioritize results and send suggested code fixes to developers.

Workflows that work

Semgrep scans run faster than a CI workflow, meaning security needn’t slow down development.

Semgrep findings can be kept within the security team, shown as comments to developers in PRs, or used to block builds — all within security’s control.

Integrations with PRs, CI/CD, and issue trackers like Jira mean developers can stay in their native workflows in order to action on security issues.

Deep analysis with dataflow

Semgrep Code uses advanced dataflow analysis to reduce the number of false positives and discover more true positives, including complex vulnerabilities across files and procedures.

Dataflow analysis features like taint tracking can, for example, see whether tainted user inputs are able to reach an unsafe SQL statement via a long chain of function calls.

Unlocking developer efficiency at Fareportal

Join Ritu Maheshwari from Fareportal as she shares her experience shifting left with Semgrep, working collaboratively in developer workflows, and gaining full visibility into security health.

In this session we discuss how:

Fareportal onboarded all their repos in just a couple of weeks
security data is shared with developers via Azure
Fareportal plans to use custom Semgrep rules

“

Semgrep makes it so that developers can focus on the issues they need to focus on rather than the ones they don’t

“

Getting developers aligned on a SAST product and having them actually use it is the hardest part of the job for an AppSec Engineer. We were able to achieve this with Semgrep Code.

“

It's easy enough to write rules for Semgrep that security and other engineering teams use it to solve complex problems. This flexibility is a huge win, and the library of managed rules means we only have to write our own when we have custom problems.
