Static Application Security Testing (SAST) Tools

Aikido provides everything the average startup to mid-market company needs for security in a box - every code and cloud security scanner under the sun without much feature compromise, alongside a surprisingly robust runtime application solution for things like bot prevention. A no-nonsense replacement for a lot of more "specialized" solutions that tend to slow developers down.

Cycode offers a holistic all-in-one ASPM tool with their in house scanners alongside the ability to import third party findings. They offer about every scanner and feature you could need out of an AppSec tool.

Depthfirst offers AI native application security functionality from threat modeling to scanning tools.

Corgea provides a robust bundling of AI first scanning tools - from AI SAST to SCA and Secrets scanning. Corgea's especially strong at discovering vulnerabilities via AI scanning, and AI based prioritization for false positive analysis.

An AI-native application security platform that unifies various scanning and enforcement tools, identifies real vulnerabilities, reduces false positives, and generates contextual fixes integrated into developer workflows.

Endor Labs stands out in their granularity and reachability analysis for open source packages. They've also added back ported patches and automatic fix suggestions based on function changes between patch versions. They offer basic SAST capabilities via opengrep for companies that need it.

Corridor provides a holistic approach to securing AI generated code by helping secure developer endpoints, bringing organizational security context to coding agents, and doing in pipeline security code review.

Clover provides a platform for doing continuous AI threat modeling and design review. By connecting to organizational data sources, they can help map your application architecture and accelerate your threat modelling process. They then continuously enforce these decisions through AI code review of pull requests and AI code generation.

Checkmarx has adapted well to the DevSecOps model, offering a lighter weight scanner in the Checkmarx One platform, that integrates well into the larger stack. They don't have all the latest features of some newer companies, but they certainly get the job done for diverse enterprises. I would not suggest venturing off Checkmarx One though.

Arnica is a holistic application security solution that focuses primarily on providing a strong developer experience. They have robust policy and attribution engines to build detail oriented workflows getting the right finding to the right person at the right time.

Phoenix security is more on the vulnerability management side of ASPM, but they offer their own SCA and DAST options alongside existing scanners. Due to the emphasis on management & orchestration, they offer a wide variety of contextualizations and in depth vulnerability data. An especially great fit for enterprises.

Maze uses agentic AI to find the exploitability of vulnerabilities in cloud environments, increasing the risk score for true positives, while giving demonstrable proof when false positives cannot be exploited.

For what Snyk offers in usability across functions, SemGrep excels in customization. Their tool offers extensive customizations and rule sets, and their reachability analysis, a critical aspect of SCA, beat Snyk to market. Also, their open source tooling is powering many other tools on this list.

DryRun provides a flexible platform for AI code analysis, covering custom and out of the box use cases for in depth code analysis.

Datadog offers a complete suite a security offerings that are a great fit for developer focused teams not looking for the most mature details in each area. They offer most scanning types, runtime detections, and a full SIEM, and you're probably already sending them your logs. It's a great runtime choice to meet developers where they work, but the UX is built primarily for developers.

Aisle provides AI native code security scanning covering SCA and SAST.

Amplify security leverages multi-AI Agents to generate relevant and accurate fixes, alongside SAST scanning capabilities. This approach replicates the process of developers and security engineers working together to fix issues so both teams are happy. Amplify tries to make the code fixes look as if the developer themselves wrote the fix, emphasizing the contextual nature of the code.

Pi is an agentic product security platform that builds an institutional security memory to autonomously triage, remediate, and prevent recurring vulnerability classes across the SDLC.

Staris built a platform for open box pentesting powered by GenAI. They look at your code and your application, build a PoC exploit of findings as a code test, and give you the fixed code. The workflow is wrapped as a pentest - which offers a glimpse into what the future of pentesting will undoubtedly look like. Staris uses GenAI to help find exploits from SAST to runtime.

Dam Secure combines AI SAST capabilities with natural language guardrails for AI generated code.
