Semgrep Code is a powerful SAST solution engineered to integrate seamlessly into the developer workflow, making it easier for engineering teams to address security issues proactively. It aims to make the "fix rate" the primary metric for AppSec programs by providing high-confidence findings that developers can actually remediate. The software supports scanning over 30 programming languages and frameworks, utilizing a library of 900+ Pro rules that are specifically written for alerting within the developer's daily tasks. Semgrep Code scans are remarkably fast, often completing in under 5 minutes, which is quicker than a typical developer's commit workflow, ensuring minimal disruption. The platform is enhanced by Semgrep Assistant, which leverages GPT-4's understanding of code and Semgrep-specific prompts to automatically triage findings and identify false positives. It provides context and reasoning with recommendations, enabling developers to quickly verify suggestions and fixes. Semgrep Code allows for easy management of developer touchpoints, enabling security teams to control which findings developers see and where they see them based on rule accuracy. It surfaces high-confidence findings and Assistant recommendations natively in developer environments, such as PR comments and Jira tickets. The solution helps prevent future vulnerabilities by establishing secure guardrails, guiding developers toward secure coding practices, eliminating entire classes of vulnerabilities by construction, and enforcing organization-specific security invariants. It is designed for easy optimization and scalability, offering metrics like fix-rate and controls over finding surfacing to continuously improve AppSec programs. All findings can be managed in one place, filterable by projects, severity, branch, or specific rulesets, and it integrates with tools like Jira and Slack, or via API.
