> semsift — cognis-digital-semsift. Use this tool when you need to quickly identify security vulnerabilities in code changes, as it provides fast incremental Static Application Security Testing (SAST) for pull requests by running curated taint rules over diffs. It solves the problem of whole-repo scan fatigue by only analyzing changed code, reducing scan time and improving developer productivity. Ideal for use in git-based development workflows where speedy feedback on code security is crucial.
