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.

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.

Ox provides an all-in-one application security solution that provides their own scanners combined with the ability to import third party findings. They also have a robust API for managing the data in the tool.

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.

Legit Security offers a holistic ASPM platform that focuses more on pipeline discovery, security, and third party data ingestion than native scanning solutions.

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.

Boost Security has a shared vision for all in one configuration scanning out to runtime. They have smart kubernetes & Istio integrations for runtime context, alongside the standard suite of SCA, SDLC, SAST, IaC, Secrets, and Containers based on a combination of open source and in house built tools. I appreciate the openness of their rule set in their documentation.

DryRun is maximizing the value of LLMs for code analysis by creating robust SAST like scanners that can cover traditionally undetectable issues like BOLA.

Mobb integrates with SAST tools like Snyk, Checkmarx, Fortify, and Codeql to scan your code and then provides fixes for merging into your code base. Their generated fixes seem good, but it's something that other providers are also working to build natively such as Snyk's DeepCode. Mobb uses GenAI to help create fixes for SAST findings.

GitHub Advanced Security is okay. It checks a lot of scanning boxes - most importantly SCA with dependabot, secrets scanning, and SAST with CodeQL. The tools tends to be very noisy, requires management via GitHub which can be challenging, and tends to generate a lot of false positives leading to operational difficulty over time

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.

Codacy is a code quality and scanning toolbox similar to SonarQube for code scanning. They support many languages via open source scanning tools and have a developer focus.

Pixee creates pull request ready fixes for SAST findings for enterprises. They've especially focused on developer workflows and using a mix of LLMs with static rules to create fixes.

Veracode is a legacy SAST vendor that has done a good job expanding into other categories. They are a great choice for organizations using more legacy or waterfall type development methods, but still don't have an intuitive interface or workflows for modern dev teams.
