Our mission at Endor Labs is to secure everything your code depends on, in the most efficient way possible. Over the last two years, AppSec teams at Fortune 500 enterprises and emerging cloud-native companies alike have saved hundreds of thousands of developer hours by using Endor Labs to focus on the risks that actually matter in their SDLC.
In that time, one theme emerged consistently: our customers want consolidation without compromise—best-in-class tools, all in one place, integrated across the SDLC. This drove our work to integrate container scanning and SCA, and now, it's time for the next major milestone - an integrated SAST offering.
Static Application Security Testing (SAST) and Software Composition Analysis (SCA) are crucial technologies for achieving a comprehensive security posture. While SAST focuses on securing the code written by your own teams (also called first party code), SCA addresses risks associated with third-party and open source software (OSS). With 90% of code in modern applications being OSS, the urgency of addressing third party risk through SCA has grown significantly. Without SCA, vulnerabilities and compliance issues in OSS components can go undetected, creating significant risks that SAST alone can’t catch.
That said, the need for SAST remains. While large enterprises often rely on multiple best-of-breed vendors to offer distinct SAST and SCA solutions, lean application security teams often look for integrated solutions that combine SAST and SCA to streamline security and tool administration efforts and provide comprehensive protection across the SDLC.
There are several classes of SAST solutions on the market. Traditional tools focus on comprehensive security coverage with long scan cycles, often leading to many false positives. Modern SAST solutions prioritize speed and actionability, aligning with the fast pace of DevOps by reducing false positives—though they often require more technical acumen to avoid false negatives.
Endor Labs offers two paths to consolidate Static Application Security Testing (SAST) into your application security testing stack:
- A partnership with GitHub Advanced Security CodeQL, the best-in-class modern SAST tool
- SAST rules built into Endor Labs scans
Endor Labs + GitHub = AppSec developers actually like
GitHub Advanced Security is best-in-class for SAST and secret scanning; Endor Labs is best-in-class SCA. Through our partnership, you get a world-class application security experience that doesn’t require developers to leave GitHub.
- GitHub: Eradicate vulnerabilities in 1st party code with CodeQL and discover hard-coded secrets.
- Endor Labs: Reduce SCA noise by 92% and consolidate with container findings.
With GitHub’s CodeQL, you can scan your first party code for security issues as you write it, and integrate the results natively into the developer workflow— all with comprehensive support for the most popular programming languages. Integrate SAST into CI/CD workflows (in many cases, without altering any existing workflows), schedule routine scans, and/or scan on-demand.
Remediation across both SAST and SCA also becomes easier with this integration. GitHub’s Co-pilot Autofix automatically suggests code patches to remediate weaknesses in your code, while Endor Labs’ Upgrades & Remediations helps you understand the impact of OSS package upgrades, and offers backported security patches for when you need to deploy a fix quickly.

If your developers live on GitHub, running Endor Labs with CodeQL gives you the best of both worlds: Best-in-class SCA and SAST within GitHub.
Integrated SAST in the Endor Labs platform
Using other Source Code Managers (SCM) such as GitLab or BitBucket, or aren’t ready for GitHub Advanced Security? Use Endor Code to consolidate SAST with SCA in a single view with minimal implementation effort. Our solution offers full support for C and C++, C#, Go (Golang), Java, JavaScript and TypeScript, Kotlin, and Python — and support for other languages through community rules.
- SAST so fast: Start quickly with curated rules from Endor Labs
- Extend your coverage: Choose from thousands of community rules to achieve the coverage you need
- Custom policies: Use flexible policies to automatically raise findings about the risks that matter to you
Endor Labs consolidates your application security testing into a single view, with our best-in-class reachability-based SCA, container scanning, secret scanning, and now SAST.
Speed up your SAST deployment
Once you’ve integrated Endor Labs’ scanning into your repos through your CI pipeline, there’s no heavy lifting required to enable SAST! Just turn it on, and use a collection of out-of-the-box, curated detection rules to find the most pressing issues in your code base. These rules can be customized based on simple qualifiers like confidence levels or adherence to standards such as OWASP Top 10 Web Application Security Risks or SANS-25. Endor Labs releases more rules monthly, and also supports thousands of user and community-generated rules.
