How teams handle scanner noise

[cassiodeveloper]

One of the biggest challenges in Application Security is dealing with scanner noise.

Security tools (SAST, SCA, etc.) often generate large volumes of findings, many of which are false positives or low-priority issues.

Common problems teams report:

• Developers ignoring scanner results
• Security teams manually triaging findings
• Lack of objective merge criteria
• Alert fatigue

SecScore was designed to reduce this noise by introducing a scoring layer between scanners and CI/CD.

Instead of reacting to raw scanner output, teams can define policies that convert findings into a clear decision:

PASS / REVIEW / FAIL

I'm curious to hear how other teams deal with this problem.

Questions:

• Which scanners are you using today?
• How do developers handle findings in Pull Requests?
• Do you block merges based on security findings?
• What is the biggest pain point in your current process?
