The free and open-source security platform SecHub, provides a central API to test software with different security tools. SecHub supports many free and open-source as well as proprietary security tools.
SecHub orchestrates various security and vulnerability scanners which can find potential vulnerabilities in sourcecode, binaries or web applications.
This enables security, development and operation teams to review and fix security issues. As a result, SecHub improves application security.

+--------------+ The objective of SecHub is to help secure the software development lifecyle (SDLC) phases: development, deployment and maintenance.
From the first written line of code to the application being in production. SecHub can be used to scan the software continuously.
The security tools are categorized into modules which are named after the security testing method they perform: codeScan, licenseScan, secretScan, webScan etc.
| Note | The terms SAST (Static Application Security Testing) and DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing) are intentionally not used for the module names, because the designers feel those terms are vague and difficult to understand for non-security experts. On the other hand, security experts can easily map: codeScan to SAST and webScan to DAST. |
