# Tools and Technologies for other Programming Languages

> Overview of static analysis and security scanning tools for various programming languages in DevSecOps workflows.

In modern DevSecOps workflows, integrating static analysis and security-scanning tools early in the development cycle helps catch vulnerabilities, enforce best practices, and maintain code quality. Below is an overview of top tools—both multi-language and ecosystem-specific—so you can tailor your toolchain to your tech stack.

## Quick Reference Table

| Language / Framework | Security & Analysis Tools                             | Purpose                                                 |
| -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| Spring Boot (Java)   | OWASP Dependency-Check, SonarQube, OSS Review Toolkit | Dependency vulnerability scanning, code quality metrics |
| Python               | Bandit, Safety, Sonatype Lift                         | Security linting, license checks                        |
| Node.js              | Node.js Scan, npm-check, ClearlyDefined               | CVE detection, dependency updates, license data         |
| PHP                  | Sonatype Lift, SonarQube, OSS Review Toolkit          | SAST, code quality, open-source compliance              |
| .NET                 | Retire.NET, Puma Scan, .NET Security Guard            | NuGet package audit, rule-based analysis                |
| Ruby / Rails         | Brakeman, SonarQube, OSS Review Toolkit               | Rails-specific SAST, code metrics, dependency scanning  |

<Callout icon="lightbulb" color="#1CB2FE">
  Prioritize integrating both ecosystem-specific tools (e.g., Brakeman for Rails) and multi-language platforms (e.g., SonarQube) to get comprehensive coverage.
