What is AI SAST?
AI-powered Static Application Security Testing (AI SAST) combines traditional code analysis with machine learning and large language models to deliver security insights that actually matter. Unlike pattern-matching tools that flood you with false positives, AI SAST understands your code's intent, architecture, and business logic.
See the Difference
Traditional SAST floods you with alerts. AI SAST shows what actually matters - real vulnerabilities with contextual understanding and actionable fixes.
The Problem with Traditional SAST
Every security engineer knows the drill. Your SAST tool runs overnight and delivers a report with thousands of "critical" findings. You spend the next week triaging, only to discover that 95% are false positives. The real vulnerabilities? They're hiding in the noise, or worse, they're business logic flaws your tool can't even detect.
Traditional SAST tools fail because they:
- Rely on rigid pattern matching
- Can't understand code context or business logic
- Generate generic patches that break functionality
- Miss modern vulnerability classes like prompt injection
- Create more work than they save
How AI SAST Changes Everything
ZeroPath's AI SAST technology represents a fundamental shift in application security. By combining Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) analysis with large language models, we deliver security analysis that thinks like a senior security engineer.
Deep Code Understanding
Our AI SAST engine builds a comprehensive model of your application.
Unlike pattern matching, ZeroPath understands:
- How data flows through your application
- Which security controls are actually effective
- When business logic doesn't match implementation
- Why certain code patterns are safe in your specific context
Real Vulnerabilities, Not False Positives
Traditional SAST might flag every database query as potentially vulnerable. ZeroPath's AI SAST understands when:
- Queries are properly parameterized
- Input validation makes exploitation impossible
- Authentication checks prevent unauthorized access
- Framework protections are correctly implemented
Contextual Understanding
Our AI doesn't just pattern match - it understands your entire security context. It knows when a query is safe because of upstream validation, framework protections, or proper parameterization.
Example: Traditional SAST sees string concatenation and screams "SQL injection!" Our AI sees the JWT validation, role checks, and parameterized execution that make it safe.
AI SAST in Action
Business Logic Detection
A major e-commerce platform discovered their checkout system could be exploited to create negative prices by applying discounts in a specific sequence. Traditional SAST missed this completely because it required understanding business rules, not just code patterns.
ZeroPath's AI SAST found it in minutes.
Modern Threat Detection
As LLMs become integrated into applications, new vulnerability classes emerge. ZeroPath's AI SAST already detects:
- Prompt injection vulnerabilities
- Unsafe LLM response handling
- Token leakage in AI integrations
- Model manipulation attacks
Intelligent Patch Generation
Finding vulnerabilities is only half the battle. ZeroPath's AI SAST generates contextually-aware patches that:
- Respect your coding standards
- Preserve existing functionality
- Include proper error handling
- Match your application's patterns
Instant Fixes
One-click patches that actually work in your codebase
Code-Aware

AI DevSecOps Tools Integration
ZeroPath isn't just another tool in your stack. It's the intelligence layer that makes your entire DevSecOps pipeline smarter.
Transform Your Existing SAST Tools
Already using Semgrep, Snyk, or Checkmarx? ZeroPath's AI enhances their output:
- Import findings from any major SAST tool
- AI validation eliminates false positives
- Automatic patches for real vulnerabilities
- One-click fixes that actually work
5,000 → 127
That's the typical reduction when ZeroPath's AI processes your existing SAST findings.
- ✓ Real vulnerabilities identified with context
- ✓ Automatic patches for every finding
- ✓ Hours of triage reduced to minutes
Seamless CI/CD Integration
- Sub-60 second PR scans that don't block deployments
- Automatic issue attribution to the right developer
- Natural language security policies anyone can write
- Break-glass access for emergency deployments
Shift Left, Without the Friction
Security feedback right in the PR. Developers fix issues before they merge, not months later in production.
Developer-First Security
Security tools traditionally create friction. ZeroPath's AI DevSecOps approach accelerates development:
- Q&A with findings: "Why is this vulnerable?" "How could this be exploited?"
- Custom rule creation: "Flag any API endpoint without rate limiting"
- Learning mode: Developers improve their security knowledge through intelligent feedback
Speak Security, Not Regex
