Before the application even runs, SAST looks in source or intermediate code for dangerous patterns: injection, unsafe deserialization, weak cryptography. Before the pipeline (CI) or a release gate, this scan gives a signal without waiting for production pentest. A new language, a monorepo, or an external team delivery raises the need. SAST does not see every logic flaw; the application is not called secure without DAST and manual pentest. Without language, build, and false-positive thresholds, noise grows.
TARGON does not deliver SAST as a license box. Which projects are scanned, which rules fit you, and how a developer close-note is written are set by the technical team. Human source review and tool output are not mixed. Findings are filtered with the same priority and evidence expectation as a pentest report. Taking SAST from TARGON makes static scanning part of the application-security and pentest program; scope is limited to the repo and language list.
