- 5OpenAI Blog·3/16/2026securityWhy Codex Security skips traditional SAST
OpenAI explains that Codex Security does not depend on conventional static application security testing (SAST). Instead, it uses AI-driven constraint reasoning and validation to identify real vulnerabilities while reducing false positives. The approach is positioned as a more targeted way to assess code security than traditional scan-based methods.
