🔍 Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
Semgrep helps developers find security vulnerabilities directly in their source code. It checks code for common risks, unsafe patterns, and potential weaknesses before applications are released. Its flexible scanning rules allow teams to focus on issues that matter to their projects. This makes it easier to catch problems early and build safer software.
📦 Software Composition Analysis (SCA)
Semgrep scans third-party libraries and open-source dependencies to identify known security vulnerabilities. It helps development teams understand which packages may put their applications at risk. By highlighting outdated or vulnerable components, it makes dependency management easier. This feature is especially useful for projects that rely on multiple external libraries.
🔐 Secrets Detection
Accidentally exposing API keys, passwords, and access tokens can create serious security problems. Semgrep scans code repositories to find these sensitive details before they become bigger risks. It helps teams identify exposed credentials and take action quickly. This adds an important layer of protection to everyday development workflows.
🤖 AI-Powered Vulnerability Detection
Semgrep combines traditional security scanning with AI reasoning to identify complex vulnerabilities that simple pattern matching may miss. It can understand code context and help prioritize reachable security issues. This allows teams to focus on genuine risks instead of wasting time reviewing unnecessary alerts. It makes security reviews more focused and efficient.
🛠️ Automated Code Remediation
Finding vulnerabilities is only half the job. Semgrep also helps developers understand and fix security problems with tailored remediation guidance. It can provide suggestions directly in IDEs and pull requests, making it easier to address issues during development. This helps teams resolve problems faster without disrupting their regular coding workflow.
🔄 Developer Workflow Integrations
Semgrep connects with popular development tools such as VS Code, JetBrains, GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket. It also supports CI/CD pipelines, APIs, webhooks, and AI coding tools. These integrations allow security checks to happen where developers already work. Teams can improve code security without constantly switching between different platforms.
