Persona · Developer

A security tool you actually want in your PR.

Findings only on the lines you touched. Drafted fix PRs you can merge without reading three CVE descriptions. IDE feedback that's correct. No security retro-blame.

What your week looks like today.

Your PR is blocked by a Critical CVE in a transitive dep you didn't add and can't reach.

AppSec asks you to suppress 14 vulns by hand. You don't know how. They escalate.

Snyk pings you in Slack about a finding that's 4 years old in a file you've never opened.

Copilot is great until prod credentials end up in the prompt. Now Legal has questions.

Container scan blocks deploy because of a CVE in a base image you didn't pick.

Audit asks for an SBOM. You don't know what cyclonedx means and nobody will tell you.

Benefits, by use case.

Line by line — what each use case does for your specific role.

IDE feedback
Live in VS Code, Cursor, JetBrains — same engine as CI.

Reachability triage
'Not reachable' suppression is one line in policy, not a 14-step form.
1 line
Container base image
Zero-CVE distroless variants pre-pulled, drop-in.
0-CVE
Secret detection (pre-commit)
Catches the credential before you push, not after.

Copilot / Cursor safety
Inline guardrails block prompt injection and credential exfil.

SBOM (per release)
Generated for you. You don't even need to know the format.

What you'll actually use.

AI-native and traditional, in the rhythm of your week.

AI-Native
  • Safeguard Code (local agent)
    Runs alongside Cursor / Claude Code with safe defaults.
  • Griffin AI
    Decides what's real. Skips noise.
  • Auto-Fix
    Drafts the upgrade, runs tests, opens the PR.
  • Guardrails
    Inline at the agent layer, invisible when you're not at risk.
  • MCP Server
    Capability-scoped so agents can't exfil your secrets.
Traditional
  • IDE Extension
    VS Code, JetBrains, Cursor — live findings.
  • CLI Tool
    Same engine on your laptop as in CI.
  • Secret Detection
    Pre-commit hook catches keys before they leave your machine.
  • SCA
    Lives in your PR, only on touched code paths.
  • Chrome Extension
    Quick reachability check for any open source package.
