Gartner® named OpenText a leader in Application SecurityGet the Magic Quadrant report
Find critical vulnerabilities others miss. OpenText SAST integrates with GitHub, GitLab, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, VS Code, Eclipse, and more to secure code early while keeping developers moving fast.
Integrating [OpenText SAST] has reduced the efforts required for code review, and the quality it provides is better than other market tools.
Automating our security testing with [OpenText], we've covered almost 100 percent of our CI/CD pipelines, which amount to several tens of thousands, with SAST scans.
By integrating [OpenText SAST] into our CI/CD pipelines, we automate security testing and identify vulnerabilities early, reducing remediation costs and accelerating secure software delivery.
...our testing efforts have been easier to quantify and manage both for first-time scans and periodic scans of software modules (at the review level when after developer teams turn the FPRs in).
[OpenText] helped us in finding vulnerabilities in our developer's code. The recommendation for each finding helped our developer to fix their code quickly. This will help secure the products we publish.
OpenText SAST delivers comprehensive security across many development languages while integrating with your dev tool of choice. Balance speed and accuracy with custom scan depth, reduce false positives with AI assistance, and scale dynamically.
Scan source code as it’s written to catch vulnerabilities before code is merged or released. Find issues in the developer IDE or pull requests before merge. Fixing issues early drastically reduces remediation cost and prevents security debt from accumulating.
Embed SAST into DevOps pipelines to automatically block or flag insecure code at each build or deploy stage. This ensures security keeps pace with agile development and doesn’t slow down release velocity.
Enforce secure coding practices and detect violations of compliance frameworks like OWASP Top 10, NIST, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, and more with policy-based scan enforcement and reporting that reduces the risk of audits, fines, or reputational damage from non-compliance.
Apply consistent security scanning across both legacy stacks and modern architectures (e.g., microservices, APIs, containers). Static analysis extends to mobile platforms, REST APIs, and modern interfaces. This serves enterprises running hybrid environments that need full-stack security coverage.
Use centralized dashboards and customizable reporting to track findings, remediation progress, and team performance to give security leaders the visibility they need to manage risk and communicate status to management and dev teams.
Offer actionable guidance, IDE integrations, and in-context remediation advice to help developers fix vulnerabilities faster. Reduce friction between security and dev teams, improve fix rates, and encourage secure coding habits.
OpenText SAST delivers enterprise-grade code security with AI-powered analysis, cloud-native support, and flexible deployment to help organizations reduce risk, streamline compliance, and build secure software at scale.
Supports 33+ languages, 350+ frameworks, and detection of over 200+ types of secrets in source code. Enables consistent, comprehensive security testing across your entire codebase.
Includes options such as the SaaS-based OpenTextTM Core Application Security Testing platform, private hosted, which combines SaaS and on-premises features, and off-cloud, which offers full control over the application security testing solution.
Provides best-in-class IaC and app security scanning in one platform, supporting Docker®, Kubernetes®, and serverless, all powered by a single core engine.
Accelerates auditing and vulnerability detection, paired with automated code fixes suggestions for SAST vulnerabilities, using OpenTextTM Application Security AviatorTM, accessible via SaaS and off-cloud.
Offers coverage across 33+ languages, 1,495+ vulnerability categories, 350+ frameworks, and over 1 million APIs.

Static application security testing (SAST) analyzes application source code, bytecode, or binaries to detect security vulnerabilities during development. Identifying risks like early in the software development lifecycle (SDLC), makes remediation faster and less expensive.
OpenText SAST is a static analysis solution supporting 33+ programming languages and integrating with developer tools, CI/CD pipelines, and ticketing systems. It combines deep static analysis with vulnerability coverage mapped to standards such as OWASP Top 10, CWE, and NIST.
SAST helps developers embed security into early software development. OpenText SAST integrates with IDEs (e.g., Visual Studio®, IntelliJ®), build tools (e.g., Maven, Gradle), and CI/CD platforms (e.g., JenkinsTM, Azure DevOps®), allowing security scans to run automatically during coding and builds.
While SAST primarily analyzes proprietary code, OpenText complements it with Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tools that identify risks in open-source libraries, such as known vulnerabilities, outdated components, and licensing issues.
OpenText SAST supports web, mobile, desktop, and cloud-native applications across a wide range of languages including Java, .NET, JavaScript, Python, C/C++, Swift, Kotlin, Go, and more. It also handles infrastructure-as-code (IaC), containers, and APIs.
OpenText SAST provides out-of-the-box support for security and compliance frameworks such as OWASP Top 10, PCI DSS, NIST 800-53, and ISO 27001. The platform delivers policy-based scan management, audit-ready reporting, and dashboards that demonstrate risk posture and remediation progress.
OpenText Static Application Security Testing offers flexible deployment on-premises for full control and customization, as hosted and managed scanning infrastructure where your team submits code remotely, and as a fully managed experience (OpenTextTM Core Application Security).
OpenText SAST includes support for popular IDEs like Visual Studio, IntelliJ, and Eclipse®, as well as CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions®, GitLab CI®, Azure DevOps, and BambooTM. The platform also integrates with issue tracking systems like Jira®, enabling automatic ticket creation.
