Our take
What our shortlists say about the one we picked.
- Aikido Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
Best for: Teams that want AI triage and fixes in pull requests
It makes the list for a fast start at any company size, because AI triage and fixes take on work a security engineer would otherwise do by hand. Since it runs on the open-source Opengrep engine, ask what its own rules and triage add on top of that engine.
