The SAST Preset Advisor is an agentic security intelligence platform designed to bridge the gap between high-level cybersecurity policies and low-level static analysis (SAST) configurations. 1. The Problem It Solves SAST "Noise": Standard security scanners often produce thousands of false positives because they don't understand specific architecture or the custom sanitizers you already have in place. The Policy-to-Code Gap: High-level mandates (e.g., "All PII must be encrypted") are difficult to manually translate into technical rules for tools like Semgrep, Snyk, or CodeQL. Configuration Overload: Security teams struggle to maintain custom presets for hundreds of different microservices, each with unique tech stacks and risk profiles. 2. How It Works The platform uses Gemini 3.1 Pro to ingest three critical data points: Architecture & Code: tech stack, frameworks, and existing security logic. Cyber Policy: internal security mandates and industry standards (OWASP, NIST). Ecosystem Context: The specific capabilities of target SAST tool. 3. Why It Is Important Precision Scanning: It automatically identifies "Redundant Rules" (vulnerabilities already handled by framework) and disables them to reduce developer fatigue. Custom Intelligence: It generates actual query snippets (e.g., Semgrep YAML) tailored to specific internal sanitizers and logic. Compliance Mapping: Every recommendation is mapped to a CWE ID and a specific Policy Requirement, providing immediate audit-readiness. Accelerated Remediation: By providing a "Risk Dashboard" and a "Remediation Roadmap," it helps teams prioritize the vulnerabilities that actually matter to their specific business context. In short: It turns "dumb" security scanning into context-aware intelligence, ensuring security tools work for architecture, not against it.
