Secure Code Review and Static Analysis (SAST) Fundamentals

<p>Follow Renata Oyelaran, a senior backend engineer at the fintech startup Cascade Ledger, as a customer due-diligence review forces her to build a secure code review practice from scratch. Across three connected lessons she manually reviews a real pull request for trust-boundary and input-validation gaps, catalogs the vulnerable code patterns she keeps finding across the codebase in JavaScript, Java, and Python, and then scales her judgment with a Semgrep-based SAST pipeline -- including a custom rule for an anti-pattern unique to her own team -- and a triage workflow that keeps automated findings from drowning her engineers in noise.</p>
