Infrastructure as Code 5. Automated patch generation. any more... ZeroPath delivers 2x more real vulnerabilities with 75% fewer false positives. Our research team has been successful in finding vulns like critical account takeover in better-auth (CVE-2025-61928, 300k+ weekly downloads), identifying 170+ verified bugs in curl, and discovering 0-days in production systems at Netflix, Hulu, and Salesforce. Trusted by 750+ companies and performing 200k+ code scans monthly.

GitGuardian is an end-to-end NHI security platform that empowers software-driven organizations to enhance their Non-Human Identity (NHI) security and comply with industry standards. With attackers increasingly targeting NHIs, such as service accounts and applications, GitGuardian integrates Secrets Security and NHI Governance. This dual approach enables the detection of compromised secrets across your dev environments while also managing non human identities and their secrets lifecycle. The platform supports over 450+ types of secrets, offers public monitoring for leaked data, and deploys honeytokens for added defense. Trusted by over 600,000 developers, GitGuardian is the choice of leading organizations like Snowflake, ING, BASF and Bouygues Telecom for robust secrets protection.

The Code Registry is an AI-powered code intelligence and analysis platform that gives businesses and non-technical stakeholders full visibility into their software codebase, even if they don’t write code themselves. Upon connecting your code repository (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, or uploading a zipped archive), the platform creates a secure “IP Vault” and runs a comprehensive automated analysis across your entire codebase. It produces a range of reports and dashboards, including a code-complexity score (revealing how intricate or maintainable your code is), open-source component analysis (detecting dependencies, license status, outdated or vulnerable libraries), security analysis (identifying potential vulnerabilities, insecure configurations or risky dependencies), and a “cost-to-replicate” valuation, estimating how much effort or resources it would take to rebuild or replace the software from scratch.

Maximize your throughput and only release clean code SonarQube Cloud (formerly SonarCloud) automatically analyzes branches and decorates pull requests.

With just a few clicks you're up and running right where your code lives. Immediate access to the latest features and enhancements. Project dashboards keep teams and stakeholders informed on code quality and releasability. Display project badges and show your communities you're all about awesome. Code Quality and Code Security is a concern for your entire stack, from front-end to back-end. That’s why we cover 24 languages including Python, Java, C++, and many others. Transparency makes sense and that's why the trend is growing. Come join the fun, it's entirely free for open-source projects!

Get a deeper understanding of your software with Embold's profound analysis and intuitive visuals. Visually comprehend the size and quality of every component and fully understand the state of your software at a glance. Understand issues on a component level with rich annotations and see where they are located in your code. View and navigate through all ingoing and outgoing dependencies of your software components and learn how they influence each other. Quickly understand how to refactor and split complex components by using our innovative partitioning algorithms. The EMBOLD SCORE, calculated from four dimensions, tells you which components have the biggest impact on the overall quality and need to be solved first. Analyze your code’s structural design with the help of our unique set of anti-patterns on a class, functional, and method level. Embold utilizes several metrics ranging from cyclomatic complexity to coupling between objects to measure the quality of software systems.

CodeSonar employs a unified dataflow and symbolic execution analysis that examines the computation of the complete application. By not relying on pattern matching or similar approximations, CodeSonar's static analysis engine is extraordinarily deep, finding 3-5 times more defects on average than other static analysis tools. Unlike many software development tools, such as testing tools, compilers, configuration management, etc., SAST tools can be integrated into a team's development process at any time with ease. SAST technologies like CodeSonar simply attach to your existing build environments to add analysis information to your verification process. Like a compiler, CodeSonar does a build of your code using your existing build environment, but instead of creating object code, CodeSonar creates an abstract model of your entire program. From the derived model, CodeSonar’s symbolic execution engine explores program paths, reasoning about program variables and how they relate.
