False Positives in SAST — How I Built Suppression Into My Scanner and Why It Matters

1. 1Build a suppression mechanism into your SAST scanner to filter out false positives
2. 2Configure your scanner to ignore known false positives
3. 3Test your suppression mechanism with sample code to ensure it's working correctly
4. 4Apply suppression rules to your scan results to reduce noise
5. 5Compare the results with and without suppression to measure its effectiveness

Security engineers and DevOps teams can benefit from this knowledge to improve the accuracy of their security testing and reduce false alarms

💡 Suppressing false positives in SAST tools is crucial to avoid desensitizing developers to security alerts and to improve the overall effectiveness of security testing
