SonarQube Advanced Security

Business Profile

Core Value Proposition

SonarQube Advanced Security provides integrated code quality and automated code security across the software development lifecycle, seamlessly integrating into developer workflows from IDE to CI/CD and offering SAST, taint analysis, secrets detection, SCA, and IaC scanning.

Target Customer

Developers and security teams in enterprises seeking to secure first-party, third-party, and AI-generated code within modern CI/CD pipelines.

Key Differentiator

Trusted by over 7 million developers and 400 thousand organizations; built by developers for developers; combines SAST, taint analysis, secrets detection, and IaC scanning with AI-powered remediation; supports 35+ languages and Software Composition Analysis (SCA) for third-party dependencies.

Implementation Timeline

Value can be realized quickly through seamless integration into the developer workflow (IDE to CI/CD). A 14-day free trial is available to start evaluating and experience results across projects.

Pain Points

1Detecting and remediating vulnerabilities across the entire codebase, including third-party dependencies and AI-generated code.
2Preventing leakage of sensitive information (secrets) in source code and CI/CD pipelines.
3Ensuring compliance and governance (GDPR, SOC2, PCI DSS) with SBOMs, licensing, and policy enforcement.

Key Features

1Static Application Security Testing (SAST) with broad language support (35+ languages).
2Taint Analysis for data flow tracking across the codebase to identify vulnerabilities from untrusted inputs.
3Secrets Detection to find API keys, passwords, tokens, and other sensitive data in IDEs and pipelines.
4Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Scanning for misconfigurations in Terraform, CloudFormation, Azure Resource Manager, Kubernetes manifests, and Ansible.
5Software Composition Analysis (SCA) for third-party dependencies and SBOM generation.
