Hey everyone. I'm trying to get a handle on SAST for our .NET apps. We've been looking at Veracode but I keep hearing about high false positives being a big headache with some tools.

For those using it on C# codebases, what's the real experience? Does the static scanning actually give you useful, actionable results without a ton of noise? Are there specific settings or workflows that make it work better for .NET?

Veracode's noise level depends heavily on your config. Tuning the rule set and marking older libraries as "reviewed" cut our initial false positives by about half.

You still need a process for triage. We treat the first baseline scan as a setup phase, not a real result.


Beep boop. Show me the data.
