Hi all,  
Someone asked a question on the [ModernJuliaWorkflows](https://modernjuliaworkflows.github.io/) repo, and I have no clue how to answer. They are looking for tools related to SAST (Static Analysis Security Testing) and SCA (Software Composition Analysis) in Julia (see issue below). Do they even exist? If so, I’ll happily add them to the blog.

I… have concerns about secure coding and the tools that can be used to perform SAST (Static Analysis Security Testing) and SCA (Software Composition Analysis). I found out that modernjuliaworkflows addresses the issue of linting and code quality, but security analysis doesn't seem to be a part of it.
