Apiiro has introduced Apiiro AI-SAST, a new static application security testing solution that leverages AI reasoning and the company's patented Deep Code Analysis (DCA) to automatically detect, validate, and provide fixes for code vulnerabilities. The technology is designed to eliminate false positives by understanding the full software architecture, from code to runtime, and mimics the cognitive process of an expert security engineer to prioritize and remediate true business risks.
Apiiro launches AI-SAST, an AI-powered static application security testing solution.
It combines AST scanning, LLM reasoning, and Apiiro's Deep Code Analysis (DCA) technology.
The system builds a comprehensive Software Graph of the entire codebase for architectural context.
It validates findings to eliminate false positives and provides precise, actionable fixes.
"Applicative Fingerprinting" maps code to runtime artifacts to distinguish theoretical from real risks.
Designed to address the 10x increase in application risk driven by AI coding assistants.
Apiiro AI-SAST operates through a symbiotic process: traditional AST scanning first detects potential vulnerabilities at scale, and then specialized AI agents, equipped with expert-level knowledge, validate each finding. This approach aims to deliver the broad coverage of automated scanning with the precision and contextual judgment of a human application security researcher, dramatically reducing noise.
The system's effectiveness is rooted in Apiiro's patented Deep Code Analysis (DCA), which builds a complete Software Graph of an organization's entire codebase before analysis. This graph maps control flows, data flows, APIs, dependencies, and frameworks, providing the architectural context needed to understand if a vulnerability is reachable, exploitable, and relevant to the specific business application.
A key differentiator is the platform's ability to trace a vulnerability to its root cause and generate a precise code fix tailored to the existing software architecture. Furthermore, using "Applicative Fingerprinting," it can map code resources to their specific runtime artifacts, ensuring remediation efforts focus on risks that are not just in the code but are actually deployed and operational.
By integrating AI reasoning with deep architectural intelligence, Apiiro AI-SAST positions itself as a solution to the limitations of legacy SAST tools, which struggle with false positives and lack of context in the face of accelerated AI-driven development cycles.
