SAST False Positive Management

Processes for triaging, suppressing and tuning static analysis results so developers trust and act on findings.

Definition

High false-positive rates cause alert fatigue and ignored tools. Teams tune rule sets, mark justified suppressions in code or the tool with review, baseline legacy findings, and break builds only on high-confidence rules.

Example

A team enables only high-confidence injection and secrets rules as build blockers and reviews the rest weekly.

Exam tip

Expect questions on why developers ignore SAST: tune it and integrate into IDEs and PRs.
