Static security analysis with rules that look like the code.

CLIOpen source

Static analysis tool that looks for vulnerabilities and patterns with rules written almost like the code itself, in dozens of languages.

When to use

To find vulnerabilities and enforce custom code patterns in CI.

When to avoid
