Bearer is a developer-first Static Application Security Testing (SAST) company that was acquired by Cycode, an Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) platform. Bearer offers two core products: Bearer CLI, a free and open-source SAST engine available on GitHub, and Bearer Cloud, a managed solution designed for code security at scale. The platform scans source code to detect and prioritize application security vulnerabilities, with a particular emphasis on sensitive data detection. It identifies and classifies personally identifiable information (PII), protected health information (PHI), and other sensitive data types within codebases, along with data exfiltration risks. The tool also identifies security and privacy anti-patterns in code. Bearer is designed to integrate directly into developer workflows through CI/CD pipeline integrations with GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket, enabling security risk detection at the earliest stages of the software development lifecycle. The platform supports multiple modern programming languages and frameworks including Ruby, JavaScript, TypeScript, and Java. Target users include security leaders, product security teams, and software engineers. The solution positions itself within a DevSecOps model, aiming to enable "security champion" practices within engineering teams. Notable organizations that have used Bearer include Bloomberg, Shopify, Datadog, Databricks, and Kraken, among others.
