Overview

DryRun Security is an AI-native SAST platform providing real-time, contextual security analysis of code changes in pull requests, acting as a 'security buddy' for developers to enable faster and safer coding workflows. It employs Contextual Security Analysis (CSA) to evaluate code with full context—including data flow, architecture, and change history—detecting vulnerabilities like injections, authentication issues, IDOR, logic bugs, and more, beyond traditional pattern matching, with low noise and high accuracy. Supporting languages and frameworks such as Rails, Express, Golang, Python, Node.js, Next.js, and JavaScript, it integrates as a GitHub or GitLab app, offers custom natural language policies, codebase insights via queries, and real-time feedback in seconds to boost development velocity without slowing teams.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Automated in-line security checks on every pull request
  • Contextual Security Analysis reduces false positives and noise
  • Supports multiple languages and frameworks like Python, Node.js, Golang
  • Seamless GitHub/GitLab integration with quick installation
  • Real-time feedback in seconds for faster merging
  • High accuracy detecting OWASP Top 10, IDOR, auth, logic issues
  • Custom policy enforcement and codebase insights via natural language queries

Cons

  • Limited to GitHub and GitLab repositories primarily
  • Missing support for some languages and frameworks
  • Limited accuracy details and benchmarks provided
  • Reliance on pull request workflow may not suit all pipelines
  • Unknown performance on very large projects
  • Potentially overgeneralized for highly specialized security needs
  • Limited customization options beyond natural language policies
  • Lack of detailed enterprise features and documentation
